SWD2: Version Control with Git and GitHub
Thursday 11th November 9am-12pm
Thursday 18th November 9am-12pm
Version control can be thought of as the lab notebook of the digital world: it’s what professional software developers and authors use to keep track of what they’ve done and to collaborate with other people. Every large software development project relies on it, and most programmers use it for their small jobs as well. It isn’t just for software: books, papers, small data sets, and anything that changes over time or needs to be shared can and should be stored in a version control system. This course is split over two days, please do not apply for this course unless you are able to attend ALL the sessions.
