Here’s a tutorial on initializing a git repo and walking through a simple development workflow using version control. Assumptions I made:
- Assumed this was being taught at a software carpentry workshop sometime after the ‘Shell’ module. I tried to reinforce some concepts from there and did not explain those commands.
- Assumed that students knew what git and version control was and had git installed and configured on their local machines.
I put too much material in here (4min…). I wanted to leave students at a point where they’d have a general workflow, so cutting it any shorter felt wrong. If I were to make this again, I’d probably cut out the second file I made to make the tutorial a bit shorter.
Note: echo "!!" > FILE Will not work properly for all cases, but happened to work alright here.
