GitCo-learning: aplicación interactiva para el dominio de git

Abstract

As part of the technology training program at Francisco José de Caldas District University, a lack of practical resources to support learning Git, one of the most important tools in modern software development, was identified. The aim of this project is to design and develop an educational web application called GitCo-Learning, which will enable students to acquire essential knowledge about version control through guided and interactive exercises. To execute the project, the agile Scrum methodology was adopted, dividing the work into sprints ranging from goal planning to system implementation and validation. Development was carried out using technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, Node.js, Firebase, and Socket.IO, which allowed for the creation of a dynamic, interactive, real-time web experience. The application has two main modes: individual and collaborative, designed to adapt to different learning styles. It also includes a system of practical challenges, interactive tutorials, and authentication through external accounts, all with the aim of facilitating the acquisition of fundamental knowledge in Git. The result is a technological solution that promotes autonomous learning and prepares students to face real challenges in collaborative work environments.
