Knowing how to use GitHub and all its associated tools gives you superpowers. This workshop gives you the skills and know-how to impress your developer friends.
GitHub has become one of the central components of the modern tech industry. Much of the code powering the web, the internet, and the business running on these platforms is developed on GitHub, and when you want to try out new technologies, GitHub is usually the best place to start.
GitHub is also a developer platform, which makes it immediately intimidating to anyone who does not consider themselves a developer. This workshop was created to change that.
GitHub for the Rest of Us is for everyone, in all roles and at all levels. In the workshop youβll learn:
- How science fiction helps us understand version control concepts.
- How version control works at a practical level.
- How to set up and manage your own GitHub repository.
- How to have discussions and manage projects on GitHub.
- How to contribute to projects through GitHub.
- How cloud computing through GitHub Codespaces means you can do everything in your browser.
- How GitHub Copilot gives you a personal pair-programmer to help you do the impossible.
- How to build an advanced modern website from scratch even if you have zero coding experience.
- How to acquire a healthy disrespect for the sanctity of technology and the code that runs it.
- How to impress your colleagues and make your developer friends envious of your skills.
Prerequisites:
- Laptop with an internet connection and a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Safari)
- GitHub account (sign up at github.com)
- Working knowledge of how to use a web browser
- Helmet (to prevent your head from exploding with all the new skills and knowledge youβll acquire.
