Workshop: Git for non-developers

“Just make a PR and we’ll sort it out.” Have you ever been told that and simply nodded as if you knew what it meant?

In this course, you’ll get a glimpse of what everyday work looks like on the other side of the handoff. You’ll get closer to the product you’re helping create and learn how you can contribute actual code to a project. Git is the tool that makes this possible. Developers use it to work on the same code without stepping on each other’s toes – and it’s far less intimidating than it might seem.

We’ll show you how everything fits together using real examples. You’ll learn what a repo, a branch and a commit are. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to fix a button with the wrong colour or adjust text with incorrect letter spacing yourself, instead of sending those little fixes to someone else’s backlog.

You don’t need any previous coding experience. Feel free to bring along that one thing in your current project that’s been bugging you for ages. We might even use it as an example during the course.
