We (Emilio Berti and Matthias Grenié) are very happy to have you onboard! This email is here to communicate a few information and ask you to fill pre-workshop survey so that we can adjust what we’re going to cover to your needs.
Installing git The main purpose of the course is to teach git. To install git download the program and follow the instructions on the official git website. Install it before the workshop, so that we can focus on explaining how it works. If you have trouble installing git, send us an email and we’ll help you install it.
