Journocoders workshop: Git & GitHub

This month we'll be taking on Git (software for tracking changes in code) and GitHub (a website for sharing code tracked with Git). Combined, they are incredible collaboration tools - even for non-coders.

We'll be following the Git-it tutorial, written by GitHubber Jessica Lord. If you're already familiar with Git, come along to help beginners and to share your favourite Git protips (mine is `git add -p`).

To save time during the meetup, please install Git on your computer beforehand. No previous knowledge is needed, although familiarity with the command line is helpful.

Important information:
• Please add your full name to Meetup.com for our guest list. 
• There will be no food so grab a bite to eat beforehand. 
• Make sure to bring a laptop.
 Collaborative hackpad is here 

Agenda: The session will run from 7.30pm to 9pm.
7.30: Show and Tell
7.45: Work through tutorial
8.45: Debrief
9.00: The pub!

    If interested in using some of the techniques that'll be presented during this week's workshop on the server via NodeJS (or even in the browser), drop me a line — I'm the maintainer of Github.js (https://github.com/michael/github). You can do some super cool things this way — I use Github.js in conjunction with AxisJS to use Github Pages for free chart webhosting. 😁

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
