EVENT DETAILS |
This 2 part Intro to Git and GitHub course runs Monday, October 24th (install and setup) AND Tuesday, October 25th. Your attendance is expected at both classes in order to participate. The class time will be from 7-9pm each evening.
Git is a popular version control application that can track your code changes, as well as help you to be more methodical in your programming. Win win! This session will introduce the basics of version control, how to use git to keep track of your changes to a project, and using GitHub (a hosting service) to collaborate with other developers. No prior git experience needed!
We will start the class by setting up your GitHub account and configuring git on your machine. We will then go through a lecture followed by exercises to help you become a git pro!
The lecture will cover:
the basic concepts of version control
the differences between git and other version control applications
fundamental git commands to track changes to a small project
the basics of collaborating on code with other developers in a professional environment
how to use GitHub
Want to try git for yourself? Github has a 15-minute tutorial you can go through on your own here.
What we will provide:
* Git knowledge
* Food and drinks for both days
What you will need:
* A computer
* A source-code text editor - You can install Sublime Text 2, Atom, Brackets, etc. Problems installing Sublime? Don't worry about it, we'll help you at the beginning of the workshop.
This class will not use actual code when committing to a GitHub repository, so no need to worry about knowing a particular programming language. A willingness to use the command line is necessary; we will be changing directories, listing directory contents, and using git from the command line throughout the class. You should bring your own computer to class and have administrative privileges for installing software. Also, don't forget to bring your power supply.
