Git Basics

In the Git Basics workshop we are going to deal with the what and why of version control and interactively work through the commands that you need on a day-to-day basis when managing a project with Git on your own.

Jakob will welcome you to the workshop. He is a volunteer at CorrelAid and enrolled in a data science programme at the University of Oldenburg.

Contents:

• The motivation behind version control
• A simple workflow with Git and Github
• Intro to "Git-Vocabulary"

**Target group:**The workshop is aimed at volunteers who support non-profit organizations in our data projects or are interested in doing so. However, feel free to join if you're interested in Git in general.

Format:

• 90-minutes interactive online workshop.
• Exchange with other volunteers.
• You will receive a certificate of participation for taking part.

If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact our education team (education@correlaid.org).
