Git and GitHub webinars

Webinar covering topics such as why you should use version control and useful Git commands.

This webinar provides an introduction to using Git and GitHub to manage, share and backup your code. We will discuss:

At the end of the webinar you should be able to organise your code into a git repository and see it on GitHub along with knowing how to edit and update the repository. This will allow you to keep track of changes and easily share your code with others. This is a basic introduction, a more detailed look is found down below.

Within CEDA*, we use GitHub extensively to manage the code behind all our services; both internal and external. We are therefore well placed in providing support or answering any questions you may have about using GitHub for version control.

We will discuss:

Branches: What are they? How do I use them?
Merging: How do I merge branches? How do I resolve conflicts?
Git Stash: What is it? When would I use it?
Reset: How do I unstage a commit? How do I undo my last commit?
More Features of GitHub:
- Collaboration features such as forks and pull requests
- Viewing Change History
- Tags and Releases
- Issue Tracking
- Project Management
- Public Wikis
- GitHub Settings

At the end of the webinar, you should be able to use a combination of Git commands and GitHub features to manage your code. Creating issues to manage priorities and branches to allow testing and development on multiple fronts. You will also have been introduced to making changes to other GitHub projects and submitting your changes for review by the original project.
