About the class:
Ever make changes that broke your code and forgot how it was working before? Want to work together with someone on a code project, but aren't sure who has the latest version of a particular file? Version control can solve these and many other problems!
Version control is an essential skill for any web or software developer to manage their code base, keep track of changes, and coordinate major revisions with other team members. Git is the fastest growing and most popular open source version control system used today. It's useful whether you are working on a large distributed team or working on smaller personal projects.
This session will introduce the basics of version control, how to use Git to keep track of your changes to a project, and using

Prerequisites:
This class will not use actual code when committing to a GitHub repository, so no need to worry about knowing a particular programming language. A willingness to use the command line to execute commands is necessary. We will be learning how to change directories, list directory contents, and learning how to use git from command line throughout the class.
