Instructor Notes

This lesson teaches participants how to collaborate with git and GitHub in one day.

Teaching a 2-day Good practices in research software development workshop


Often we also add a 2nd day with this lesson: https://esciencecenter-digital-skills.github.io/good-practices-lesson/, which builds out the basis of git and GitHub to a 2-day Good practices in research sofware development workshop

Timing


It is quite ambitious to teach git and GitHub properly in one day. Here are some tips to make it work: - Park advanced questions In the ‘introduction to git’ part: ignore the temptation to answer advanced questions. (You can of course do this individually during exercises). - Focus on the bare minimum There is so much to explain about git, but focus on the bare minimum that participants need to be able to collaborate on GitHub.
