TECH SKILLS TRACK
Ever make changes that broke your code and forgot how it was working before? Want to work together with someone on a code project, but aren't sure who has the latest version of a particular file? Version control can solve these and other problems!
Git is a popular version control tool that can track your code changes, as well as help you to be more methodical in your programming. Win-win!
This session will introduce the basics of version control, how to use git to keep track of your changes to a project, and using GitHub (a code hosting service) to collaborate with other developers.
In this workshop we will go over the following:
• What is git?
• What is github?
• Creating git repos
• Tracking changes in a local repo
• Examining history
• Branching and merging
• Sharing your code on GitHub
• Working together on GitHub
