This document will help you get everything set up ahead of time so you can follow along with the Codédex "Getting Started with GitHub" workshop on 7/20/23! You can still learn the concepts from the workshop without taking these steps ahead of time, and we encourage you to attend whether you take these steps or not. But if you get all of these things set up in advance, then you'll be ready to start using GitHub right away on the day of the workshop, and you'll have the chance to copy our examples on your own computer while you're there.
If you're not a workshop attendee, hopefully this document can still serve as a general guide on how to start using Git and GitHub!
- Install Git
- Make a GitHub account
- Either set up VS Code integration with GitHub or know how to access the terminal (command line)
