You’ll always begin with the introduction. It exposes what the quest is going to learn you. The repository situation is explained as well as the job to do. The weapon section helps both Knights and Heroes to see which git command is required to complete the quest.
Take your quests
Don’t worry about your environment setup, everything is setup for you with scripts. Make sure to have a running node environment and then npm install git-quest.
With the script installed, you can list and start the quests. You can also open the quest instructions and help with commands.
If you don’t specify a directory, the quest is installed in the current directory.
No need to understand JavaScript to complete the quests. Don’t open and edit the project files, only use git commands.

You can solve all the quest without editing the files. This is the most important rule you need to respect. |
Purpose project
Playing with git assume you have some codebase to play with. I build a tiny project which displays a fancy message in the console. The message is made with colourful ASCI art and is also animated.
The project requires to install Node.js.
Make sure you installed Node.js, try to run node -v in you console.
If the current version doesn’t appear download and install Node.js.
For each quest, the entry point of the project is index.js.
It means, you always run the project with node index.js.
