###1:00 pm to 2:00 pm/ Hands On Git Git is a powerful version control language that allows distributed teams of developers to collaborate on large software projects. This brief workshop will introduce students to the use of this tool.
Setup:
Visit Github and create an account. Then get git installed using these helpful instructions. Good to go? Make sure your neighbor and favorite text editor are ready, too. We will group up and start the mission!
Your Contributing Mission:
We have generated 8 repositories: https://github.com/umm-7/umm-7.github.io. They are setup for our groups and each follow this naming style. If you are group seven, then its your lucky day. :) Additionally, the live page view of your repository will follow the same convention umm-7.github.io and will display your groups' changes, once your group's fearless leader accepts.
Start by forking your group's repository to your own account. We'll walk help you though: Misson Protocol
