Git and GitHub — A Thorough Introduction

Git is the distributed version control system (DVCS) that is taking over distributed version control systems, and is becoming the standard DVCS for all varieties of software and design projects.

In this workshop for beginners, you will learn to use Git (with and without GitHub) in solo- and team-based projects. You will learn to revise, compare, and reset files, and, at the project level, you will understand how to branch, merge, and issue pull requests.

Digital designers, developers, and engineers who have never used Git are the intended audience for this workshop.
