What We Will Try to Do

Begin to understand and use Git, GitHub, and GitHub Desktop. You will not be an expert by the end of the class.

Be Excellent to Each Other

• If you spot someone in the class who is struggling with something and you think you know how to help, please give them a hand. Try not to do the task for them: instead explain the steps they need to take and what these steps will achieve.

Be Patient With Me and Yourself

• This is a big group, with different levels of knowledge, different computer systems.
• This isn't my full-time job (though if someone wants to pay me to play with computers all day I'd probably accept). I'll do my best to make this session useful.
• This is your session. If you feel we are going too fast, then please put up a pink sticky. We can decide as a group what to cover.

Prerequisites

1. Setup a GitHub account
2. Install GitHub Desktop on your own computer {: .prereq}
