Git Training

The training has an introduction part, which you can either follow along or just watch and listen. Every module is aimed at supplying theory and knowledge. Most modules also have an exercise linked.

Every module and also the exercises are stand alone. They all start either with a fresh repository or provide a setup script. The setup scripts are part of git.zip

Setup

Download and extract git.zip. The password is "gittraining".

Open a terminal where you can use git in and navigate to the place where you extracted this archive. Then run sh ./check.sh. You should see something similar to

You can find all script for the "Modules" part in modules and all for the exercises in exercises, use cd directory to swich into them. If you want to run a script, do it like for check.sh and prend it with ./ to signal the shell to use it from the directory you are at the moment.
