Getting started with version control can seem impossible, particularly when people are telling you it is so hard, rather than teaching you how to solve your problem!

In this interactive workshop designed to support underrepresented groups, we'll show you it's not so hard to get started with Git and GitHub, in tech in a friendly and supportive environment

We'll cover the basics of what is version control and why it's important. You learn what a git repo is, and how it can be utilised by teams to collaborate. We'll cover all the git essentials you need to know to get started, like committing code, pulling, and pushing. And we'll give you the skills you need to collaborate by telling you about branches, forks, resolving merge conflicts, and pull requests.

Join our friendly and inclusive Gitting Started workshop to take your first steps or next steps with Git.
