In current workshop we will learn:

how to use a git-flow (using CLI) and github-flow.

Terminal.

You will need to work with terminal.

Mac: Access it from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.
Linux (Ubuntu): Press Ctr+Alt+T

Set up a Python 3.

If you already have it, you don't have to update it. To install Python you need to download an installer:

Windows(https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
Linux, Mac already has to have Python3, if you're not sure, type in command line python --version or python3 --version and version will be in a first line. If you don't have proper version of python:
Mac (you have to have brew): brew install python3
Linux (Ubuntu): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python3.7

Install git.

Windows
Mac
Linux (Ubuntu) sudo apt update sudo apt-get install git

Check you installed it properly with git --version

Create a workspace

It's handy to have a folder where all GitHub repos will be like workspace. You can do it if you go to a place where you want it, and create it with mkdir workspace cd workspace commands.

GitHub account.

Go to https://github.com and register.

Set up user.

Change the config with username and password: git config --global user.name "Your name" git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
You can check changes with git config --list
