Git & GitHub
The version control every employer expects, taught with a terminal simulation so nothing has to be installed first.
Syllabus
| Module | Covers |
|---|---|
| Why Version Control? | The problem Git solves, repositories, the three states |
| Core Git Commands | init, add, commit, status, log, diff |

- Run the add / commit / log workflow confidently
- Create, switch and merge branches
- Connect a local repository to GitHub and push to it

Questions teachers ask
Do students need Git installed?
No. The deck has a built-in terminal simulation, so you can teach the whole thing before anyone installs anything.
Does this need a GitHub account?
Not to follow the slides. Students need one only when they push their own first repository.
Is this suitable for a first-year class?
Yes. It assumes no prior tooling and starts from why version control exists at all.
