GitHub for Word Geeks Intro

Reg Beatty and Alex Pospisil

GitHub is a platform designed to help software developers manage large collaborative projects. Essentially, it is a repository for different files, but it has a unique way of documenting the history of a project including any commentary, debate, and edits to those files. It also features the ability to create ‘branches’ where experiments and alternate paths can be explored. But despite its rather technical origins it can easily be appropriated for a variety of projects.

Join Reg and Alex as they explain GitHub’s whys and wherefores and how they are using it to work on collaborative and creative writing.

There will also be a 2-hour Hybrid Workshop on Friday January 30 (see the next listing) for those who would like a hands-on experience.
