Open Source Comes to Campus/Curriculum/Git

Practicing Git is an activity we've designed to give attendees hands-on experience contributing to projects using git/github.

Current Version

In an ideal world, attendees work in small groups with an instructor to make changes to a github repository. You can see an example repository here, which makes this site.

Instructions for:

• Students
• Instructors
• Activity organizer (setting up the projects)

Eventually, there will be a video screencast of the activity right here. But not yet!

Ideas for Improvement

• Improve the instructor guide to make it more thorough.
• Make the activity less completely a toy/throw-away activity (somehow).
