git! (A source control system)

Do you create any kind of document[1] on your computer? If so, do you want to:

• Look at or go back to an old version.

• Share the document with other people.

• Allow others to contribute to the document.

• Back up the document to a remote system for safety.

If so, you can use a "source control" program to do this.

Come and learn about "git", a popular source control program, and "github", a popular website that allows you to share data using git.

This class is free and open to anyone. No materials are required. It's primarily a lecture-/class-style event, although we'll certainly stick around afterwards to answer any questions and/or give you practical help/advice.
