Beyond Version Control: Intro To Git and GitHub for Collaborative Projects
Ever pushed code and immediately broken something your teammate was working on? This session is for you.
Join DSN FUTA for a hands-on introduction to Git and GitHub -- the tools that make collaborative software and data projects actually work. Whether you've never touched version control or you've been winging it with confusing merge conflicts, this workshop will get you comfortable with the fundamentals.
What we'll cover:
What Git is and why every collaborative project needs it
Core concepts: repositories, commits, branches, and merges
Working with GitHub: pushing, pulling, and pull requests
Resolving conflicts without panic
Best practices for team-based projects
Who should attend:
Students and beginners and early career professionals working on group projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions who want to stop emailing zip files back and forth.
Facilitator: Marvellous
Come with a laptop -- this is a hands-on session, not just a lecture.
