LearnGitBranching

This project is an interactive Git tutorial and version control simulator. It provides a visual learning environment where users practice Git commands through structured lessons and a simulated terminal that does not affect the local file system.

The application functions as a branching visualizer, rendering a graphical representation of commit trees and branch pointers that update in real time as commands are executed. It allows for the creation of custom exercises and the sharing of specific command sequences via unique links.

The software covers educational challenges for mastering repository management and provides tools for visualizing Git operations. It can be deployed as a containerized image using Docker.
