Learn git right after you learn your first programming language.

Or rather, learn git while learning your first programming language.

Agreed. Much better than learning after loss of a major project.

Or just learn 5 magic commands

git init
git add .
git commit . -m "Dont know git yet "
git remote add
git push

And as you grow learn more

Edit : And use bit bucket for free, no need to accidentally commit aws creds to a public GitHub project

No one should write a major program while only having learnt one language. That's not good.

@alertJS Git branch and git checkout are pretty important too!

@Canvasowl yeah, but then you need to merge somewhere down the line
