2 days
General context
Arriving:
Rua Arnóbio Marquês, 310 - Santo Amaro - PE, 50100-130
Laboratório de Informática - Centro de Pesquisa do ICB, térreo.
This course will happen in Portuguese (BR), but the information page in English.
This workshop will take you through the basic use of Git and GitHub. Git is a free and open source distributed version-control system designed to maintain code, track changes, recover old versions and collaborate with other developers.
Get you started with Git from zero (note that if you already use Git, this workshop will be too basic for you). We'll explore Git on the command-line and its interaction with GitHub.
- Introduction, set-up & configurations
- Working locally: Create a repository, clone, edit, staging commits, commit & push
- Working with your history & logs
- Working in a project: Branching & pull requests
- Collaborate with other people in your project
During the workshop we also briefly discuss how you can setup a collaboration project.
This course is intended for researchers who are learning or using a programming language (R, Python, ...) and might have an existing project with code or text files that need track of changes. If you intend to make your code collaborative, bonus points for you!
IMPORTANT! Some basic knowledge of the command-line is advised for this course (e.g. this tutorial).
