Learn Regex The Easy Way is a hands-on, interactive resource for learning regular expressions (regex) in a step-by-step, incremental way. Rather than just being a reference sheet, it is designed to help you build understanding gradually: you start with the basics like literal matching, then advance through character classes, quantifiers, groups, alternation, lookaheads/lookbehinds, and more advanced regex features. Each lesson is accompanied by examples and clear explanations, so learners can experiment and immediately see results without needing external tools. The educational nature of the repository makes it ideal for people who want to master regex not through passive reading, but active experimentation. Because regex tends to be a feature that many developers struggle with — especially when dealing with edge cases — having a structured learning path helps build intuition gradually.
