Git and GitHub

Course Description

Git is a powerful version control system allowing to record, access, and restore the history of projects. After setting up remotes on the internet or other network, Git is also a mighty collaboration tool.

In this workshop, we will:

• setup a repo in two scenarios
• create a repo on GitHub
• convert a local folder into a git repository, and publish to GitHub
• make clones
• clone to a computer
• clone to OverLeaf
• make changes and commit them
• push the commits to GitHub
• syncing changes directly from Overleaf
• learn a workflow for collaboration
• fork an existing GitHub repo
• prepare a pull request
• deal with conflicts

Prerequisites: time will be dedicated during the course to installing Git as needed
