Git basics for absolute beginners
Git is a version control system. It tracks and manages changes to files over time and allows you to include explanations for each change, which enables you to investigate changes and correct problems without losing code or data.
Git works best with plain text data (such as txt, csv, and tsv) and most code files. This workshop will introduce participants to Git–how it works, its benefits, and how to get started—by learning and practicing the basics. This workshop is for anyone that works with plain text data and code but requires no prior knowledge of Git. You will need a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer to participate. Students can borrow a laptop through the Tech Lending service in the library.
