- Learn About Git
Description:
During this course, we will be making extensive use of the Git source code
version control system. Some of you already have experience with Git. Others
do not. The Lynda.com course that is linked below, is a good introduction to Git
using SourceTree, a GUI-based Git client that I am recommending that you use during
the course. Even for those of you who are comfortable working at the command line,
SourceTree is a good addition to your stable of free software tools.
- Install SourceTree
Description: You are free to use whatever Git client you want. I recommend that you use
SourceTree. The Lynda.com course identified above gives fairly up-to-date instructions
on installing and using the product. There is a link below to a page where you can
get the software.
- Set Up a BitBucket Account
Description: Using your UWM email id, set up a free BitBucket account. This account will
allow you to create a repository that you can use for your own practice. We will
be
providing a shared repository for use by the class as a whole. In order to
do your Git-related assignments in the coming weeks, YOU MUST SET UP A FREE BitBucket
ACCOUNT USING YOUR UWM EMAIL ADDRESS NOW. Otherwise, we will not be able to grant
you
permission to access the shared repository.
