Objective: The objective of this workshop is to introduce participants to GitHub and essential Command Line Interface (CLI) tools, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to use version control effectively and navigate the CLI efficiently.

Duration: 1 day (approximately 3-4 hours)

1. Projector and screen
2. Laptops for each participant with required software installed (Git, text editor, CLI)

1. Ensure all laptops are set up with the necessary software and tools beforehand.
2. Create GitHub accounts for participants who do not already have them.
3. Prepare sample projects or exercises that will be used during the hands-on sessions.
