Git is a version control system: it tracks and manages changes to your files over time and allows you to include explanations for each change. This workshop will introduce you to Git - how it works, its benefits, and how to get started -- by learning and practicing the basics. This workshop is for anyone that works with plain text data and code but requires no prior knowledge of Git. You will need a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer to participate.

Workshop details and registration are available on the University Library website.

Git basics for absolute beginners
Git is a version control system: it tracks and manages changes to your files over time and allows you to include explanations for each change. This enables you to investigate changes and correct problems without losing code or data. Git works best with plain text data (such as txt, csv, tsv files) and most code files.
