In this workshop, we will cover:

• The basics of how and why to use the terminal (aka the commandline)

We will start with the basics of how to use the commandline to navigate around the folders on your computer, create files, carefully remove files, move / copy files and compress / zip them.

In the git section, we will learn the basics of using git for version control to save your work and rescue you when you manage to break something.

As for github, we will introduce you to the purpose of github and demonstrate why is it incredibly popular for the software development community.
