Intro to Git, Github & the Terminal: 2 Part Workshop

Mar 21, 2023, 10:00 PM – Mar 24, 2023, 1:00 AM

Open Source Software

In this workshop we will use Git, Github, and the command line to learn how to use version control and prepare for the Lasagna Love: Project Ricotta Hackathon for Women’s History Month!

About this event

When it comes to learning to code, a programming language is only one of the many tools you’ll use. Working on software can quickly become troublesome when you want to manage changes over time or find a way to collaborate with others on your project. A version control system can make all the difference in managing our projects and one of the most popular options is Git.

In this workshop we will set up and get started using Git, Github, and the command line in order to manage changes in our projects, store our code remotely (outside of our computers), and collaborate with others on our projects.

If you've tried to learn Git before, but never quite figured it out - this event is also for you! We'll be diving deep and working with teams to simulate a real-world git workflow.

This is the first step in a series of open source workshops that will help developers that are new to open source prep for their 1st open source contributions to Project Ricotta for Lasagna Love.

Follow our entire series and make your first open source contributions with Girl Develop It and Lasagna Love!
