This workshop is an introduction to version control systems with Git for people with a little bit of experience with the basic commands of Git. Version control systems are tools that keep track of the changes made on a document, and help version and merge files. They allow the user to decide which changes make up the next version, and keep useful data about them. Version control systems are usually used by developers and people who write code, but are very useful also for people working with documents in general. It is especially helpful for collaborative work with more than one person working on the same file. The Intro to Git workshop has two parts: beginner and advanced. Participants are welcome to come to only the beginner, only the advanced, or both. The advanced workshop is designed for people who are still not very comfortable with Git but know the basic commands. Having completed the beginner workshop is a good way of preparing for the advanced workshop. During the advanced workshop we will work collaboratively in a repository, solve conflicts, create branches, forks, and pull requests. This workshop uses the command line to learn git, but no previous experience using command line is necessary. More information in https://osulp.github.io/workshop_intro_to_git/. If you come to the advanced lesson but not to the beginner lesson please follow the instructions in https://osulp.github.io/git-advanced/setup.html to come prepared before the workshop. Be sure to set up Git on your computer in advanced as there will not be time dedicated to doing this during the workshop.
This session will be held remotely via Zoom. Registration is required, and Zoom links and passwords will be emailed to registrants the day before the workshop.
