Introduction to Git & GitHub
General context
This half-day (morning) 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.
This course is open to everyone for free, kindly provided to you by ELIXIR-BE.
Get you started with Git from zero (note that if you already use Git, this workshop will be too basic for you). We'll look into git on a command-line level & GitHub online version.
- Introduction, set-up & configurations
- Working locally: Create a repository, clone, edit, staging commits, commit & push
- Working with your history, logs and diffs (including undo changes)
- Working in a project: Forking, branching, pull requests, fetch, merge, pull & push
In the most likely case, we have time left:
- Resolving common problems
- Collaborating tactics
- Gitignore files
This course is intended for researchers who are learning or using a programming language 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!
You know how to change your directory and list your files in the command line interface.
