Intro to Git Workshop
April 1, 2021 | 11:00am – 1:00pm (Pacific)

Collaborating with people in virtual spaces and across time zones can get messy. One way to manage these projects is through Git, a tool that tracks changes and performs version control. This webinar will serve as an introduction to Git and GitHub basics. Attendees will learn about version control, the Git framework, and the difference between Git and GitHub, and understand common Git terms such as branches, fetching, pushing, and pulling. By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to contribute to a repository using Git!

For those participating In the AMIA/DLF 2021 Hack Day event, please use the discount code included in your Hack Day confirmation.
