Git and GitHub: A Hands-On Workshop with Java and Eclipse 150 150 ieeeeduweek

We’ll begin with an overview of the workshop goals, followed by a discussion on different source control systems. The session will introduce Git, focusing on key concepts like repositories, commits, branches, and merges, and its benefits. We’ll then cover GitHub’s features, including repositories, issues, and pull requests. Essential Git commands such as git init, git clone, git add, git commit, and git push will be demonstrated, along with branching, merging, and remote repository commands. The workshop will conclude with a practical example using Java and Eclipse, followed by a Q&A and hands-on practice.
