Come along and build your own! There'll be an IRC channel dedicated for this tutorial, so don't even try bringing it into lobby lest you invoke the wrath of the admins. ============================================================= Helpdesk & Admins: Intro to Git * +Date: Thursday 05/11/15 +Time: 5pm-6pm +Location: LG26 +Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1507372262914126/ ============================================================= This week the helpdesk team and admins talk about the wonderful tool that is: git. Projects big or small can benefit from using git version control. As part of this talk we'll also talk about the hosted git repo GitHub. Having a portfolio of projects on GitHub is a great asset when job hunting; why not get the ball rolling by signing up for this awesome deal: https://education.github.com/pack *don't confuse this git with space@redbrick; he's also a git we'll gladly introduce you to, but pushing him isn't remotely helpful.
