Setup and Instructions

This workshop is to introduce you to GitHub and show how it can be used for collaborative projects, such as book sprints and sharing training materials.

Here’s what you can expect to be doing over the next two hours:

• Creating, cloning, forking repositories

• Working in branches to compare files between versions

• Working on the Github platform and with the Github Desktop Client

• Good collaborative (reproducible) practices

All interactions in this workshop will be governed by the VALA tech CAMP code of conduct.

Essential setup

For this workshop you will need:
