Course Description: Have you ever wanted an unlimited undo button to track your files and the changes that you made? Don't remember what your friend put in your document four months ago, but swears they cannot find? Version Control software like Git helps solve these problems. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the basics of Git through the popular GitHub repository as well as the command line. No prior experience is required. Attendees will need to bring their own computer with administrative privileges to install the Git terminal.
