Git wise! An introduction to version control with Git: the basics

This presentation is part of a larger Git workshop, which is taught in two sessions. The first covers the needed to work with Git on a solo project. It explains what Git is and covers topics, such as installation and configuration, creating repositories, tracking changes, etc. We will also briefly look at the basics of command-line interface (CLI) navigation. 

This is the presentation for the first session, and incidentally the first time that this session will be taught. As such, there may be some rough edges.

Any mistakes are obviously my own. If you do find any or if you have any other remarks, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Target audience

Researchers who want practical, hands-on Git skills for individual projects.

Requirements

Bring your own laptop. For session 1 basic CLI navigation skills are useful, but are not necessary. 

Duration

Three hours
