Collaborating with GitHub

Hosted by the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Libraries

About this workshop

If you are interested in creating and collaborating on remote repositories on GitHub, this workshop is for you if you are a beginner or just seeking to refine your skills. GitHub is a cloud-based platform for open and collaborative software development and version control using Git. Topics covered will include pushing/pulling changes to files in a local repository to GitHub, making copies of public repositories to modify, and collaboratively pushing changes to a common repository shared among workshop participants.
