Git with Codeberg

Git (https://git-scm.com/) is a free and open source distributed software version control system. Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/) is a non-profit, community-led effort that provides Git hosting for free, open-source projects built by human communities. Codeberg is a non-commercial, human-centric, European alternative to Github.
This is a beginner friendly workshop for those who have no or little prior experience in Git and Codeberg. It offers a hands-on, action-packed experience to use these tools for real, with real-time guidance and support.

The goals of this workshop are however not only technical but also:

• To raise awareness on viable European solutions such as Codeberg
• To give choices back to users, now knowing such viable alternatives exist

Our rundown:

• Motivation and goals
• Typical software version control processes
• What is Git, and how does it support these processes
• What is Codeberg, and how does it support these processes
• Using Git on your laptop, hands-on
• Using Git with Codeberg, hands-on
• Open exchange and next steps
