Intro to Git & Github

If you're a curious soul interested in coding, you've probably heard of Github. It's an awesome resource allowing millions of developers to share code and collaborate on amazing projects together. But how does it work?

In this workshop, we'll take a first look at Github and Git, the version control management system on which it is based.

We'll teach you how to create a Git project, how to navigate to different versions of a file and cover branches and workflow.

We'll then create Github accounts to collaborate online, and use Git to deploy a small website online through Github pages.

Objectives

• Get familiar with Git and control the different versions of your code thanks to it
• Collaborate with other developers on mutual projects through GitHub
• Host a static website on GitHub Pages

Prerequisites

You should have a text editor installed. We recommend Sublime Text (https://www.sublimetext.com/3). If you're on Windows, download and install Git (https://git-scm.com/downloads). Having a basic knowledge of terminal commands is a plus, but not mandatory. Don't forget your laptop!
