Introduction to Git - continued

  • The lectures will be done in the main Zoom room.
  • Most modules have hands-ons. These are done in break-out rooms.
  • Each break-out room will have one instructor assigned.
  • Some hands-ons will be done locally on your own computer and some using GitHub.
  • If there is a problem using your own computer, the backup solution is logging in to Kebnekaise and using that.
  • The hands-ons for the module named "Teamwork" will be done in small groups, using GitHub.

Introduction to Git - continued

  • During the hands-ons you can just ask the instructor present if there is anything you need help with.
  • You can ask in the chat, but there is also a Google docs file for Questions and Answers (Q&A). The link can be found on the "Important information" page. Please write any questions you have during the lectures etc. to the Q&A page. The instructors will try to answer as quickly as possible.
