Git crash course - Scientific Computing Summer Kickstart 2021
A version control system tracks changes to files, and is very important in most computational work. Despite being so important, it often isn't taught.
We don't try to teach it here: we don't have time. Instead, we try to give a good enough intro so that you can follow along minimally when we use git tomorrow, and give you enough of an example and discussion so that you are well equipped to learn more later.
CodeRefinery (https://coderefinery.org/) provides good courses for git and more multiple times a year. Their latest course is online, just like this course.
