This course offers a practical introduction to version control with Git. It is aimed at beginners with no prior knowledge as well as people who already use Git but would like to better understand the underlying concepts.

The event is part of the HPC.NRW training program and will be held in a “reverse hybrid” format: The lecturer is connected virtually (main location at the University of Bonn), while participants on site at RWTH Aachen University are supported by assistants.

Topics:

·       Background
·       Setting up git
·       Creating Repositories
·       Tracking Changes
·       Exploring the History
·       Ignoring Things
·       Remotes
·       Collaborating
·       Conflicts
·       Licensing and Open Science Considerations

The course complements the Python introductory course in terms of content and takes place in the same week. Participation is free of charge, but registration via the event page is required. The course language is English, and presentation slides will be made available afterwards. Basic knowledge of using the Linux console is helpful.
