Git Installation and Configuration

Git Installation and Configuration

This Git training course teaches students everything they need to know to install and configure Git.

GIT TRAINING OBJECTIVES

All students will:

• Understand the fundamentals of Git and version control
• Install and configure Git
• Integrate Git with other version control systems you’re already using, such as Subversion
• Understand Git internals

GIT TRAINING PREREQUISITES

No prior Git experience is presumed. Prior experience with other version control systems is helpful but not required. Experience with OS administration concepts suggested.

GIT TRAINING MATERIALS

All attendees receive comprehensive courseware.

SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR EACH PC:

• Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Solaris, ideally on a machine with dual core or faster processor and 4GB RAM or higher
• Git 2.x or later (earlier versions taught upon request)
• Internet access for all attendees and the instructor
• Related software that Accelebrate would provide
• For classes delivered online, all participants need either dual monitors or a separate device logged into the online session so that they can do their work on one screen and watch the instructor on the other. A separate computer connected to a projector or large screen TV would be another way for students to see the instructor’s screen simultaneously with working on their own.
