Community Education - Git & Github, Your first Pull Request

Reps
#1

Hi

Based on enthusiasm for this offering on today’s Reps call, I’ve added a monthly event to the Community Education Calendar:

Git & Github, Your first Pull Request

During this 2 hour session you’ll have a hands-on opportunity to :

  1. Install Git on your computer
  2. Fork and clone a repository
  3. Work with and understand Branches & Remotes
  4. Submit First Pull Request!

Register: https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/forms/d/1SvOeiu-rl9kwvlRjG0Vb3BS34hkPlhc0DAxpwbUhBno/viewform

You can find the event on our community calendar, although I am currently struggling with Google Calender Embed and Timezones… thus this link.
(temporary URL)

Also,
as we add more opportunity this is where you can look for upcoming and
regularly scheduled training and education opportunities across the
project :slight_smile:

Thanks!

-Emma

Hi Emma,

this link tells me “You need permission” to view it. Maybe you can check that again?

Further I’m quite familiar with git, so I could definitely help out here :smile:

#3

gah - sorry Michael. You should see it now.

#4

it works now. Thanks!

On the form it says “I will send along an invitation link the day prior.”. For me this would be quite short term, maybe we could change that to several days prior? Or do you have a rough time slot to announce now?

#5

That’s a good question, I have no problem with several days before. I’ll just need to confirm whether people prefer vidyo or google hangouts and do just this. is 3 days enough?

#6

I think 3 days should be a lot better :smile:

#7

Thanks everyone! This course is now full, but will be offered on a monthly basis. Please check the community calendar for next times.

#8

The community calendar can be found on this page: http://emmairwin.github.io/reps-edu/

Just to be clear, the calendar shows 08:00 PST on Thursday, has this been announced properly? I don’t see any announcement here.

#9

I announced this on list, and the course is now full. In the VERY near future, we will have our own Education Discourse category, so I can be sure all the information is in one place.

#10

Also this course will repeat each month, for those that miss it, or came too late.

Hi @emma_irwin , I made this presentation for a course that will start next week. The first ones are in spanish.

I know it is difficult to adapt presentations as the way one teach the course, but I did it simple and easy to modify.

Maybe you can find some of the slides useful.
