Description¶
This workshop will introduce the basics of git, a widely used system for managing changes to files. Git and related systems are key for replicability when doing any kind of computational analysis.
This will be a gentle introduction to git that follows the Software Carpentry lesson.
Some experience with the command line is strongly suggested, but you don’t need to be an expert by any means; we will have friendly TAs, too!
We will also talk about github, a site that enables collaboration around files in git.
