Git doesn't need to be tricky, and you don't need to use a terminal to do it. In a 2.5 hour session, we will talk over the basics of version control covering:
- why version control is useful,
- how to create your first git repository,
- the basics of markdown,
- what a pull request is,
- and why open source is important in science.
Instead of focusing on code in a specific programming langauge, will instead focus on a common neutral ground - markdown - which will also give participants the ability to create their own personal or lab website on GitHub Pages.
Prerequisites- A laptop capable of running GitHub desktop (e.g. a linux, mac, or windows laptop, but not a chromebook or tablet).
