Collaborating on GitHub

Lesson for participants in MATH 701, graduate seminar in algorithms at the University of British Columbia math department.

To install git, see the install instructions.

For notes on Christina's presentation on how to

• clone online repositories
• make local commits
• push commits + submit a pull request
• pull changes from the master online repository

see the appropriate collaboration file for SmartGit or Bash. Don't use the GitHub GUI.

For this week's mini-assignment, please follow the directions in the assignment file.

Here are some of my favorite links to learn about git:
