Description

Git and related systems are key for replicability when doing any kind of computational analysis. Topics covered in this workshop include branching and merging of repositories.

This workshop will be taught remotely and broadcast to our classroom via Google Hangouts on Air. We will have helpers in our local room to facilitate the lesson. The lesson will also be streamed to YouTube and saved there for viewing at a later time. You only need to register to this event if you plan on coming to a classroom.
