Heard of GitHub but don’t think it’s relevant to your world? Did you know it can actually be used as a pretty powerful project management tool that doesn’t require coding or a command line interface? Let us show you how to use GitHub to manage programs and projects with no prerequisite knowledge required in a Friendly Introduction to GitHub workshop. During this 4-hour workshop we will provide examples of how this flexible tool can be used for managing all sorts of collaborative projects from creating a website to managing events and other offline projects up to managing multiple projects across an entire team or program. We will demystify the lingo and processes built into this online platform. A significant portion of the time will be hands-on activities and small-group work where we will create repositories, work with labels, setting milestones and assigning tasks. We will also take some time to look at the tools complementary to GitHub such as gh-pages and gitbook. Participants will need to bring a laptop to participate in hands-on activities.
