Intermezzo I

The focus of the first workshop of this course has been version control, and an introduction to Git. Some very important Git workflows have been covered, such as the “modify-add-commit” cycle. However, all the Git topics covered then were focusing on creating and using a local repository, stored on the user’s workstation, and with only one participant - the user herself.

In this second workshop we will take you to the next level in terms of Git functionality - and show you how you can fully harness the power of version control by using Git in a collaborative environment where multiple users can work together on the same project all coordinated through Git workflows. Once we master such advanced Git workflows, we will pivot towards the programming part of this course by looking at Python virtual environments.

To summarize, this is how this second workshop will be organized:

• GitLab - an on-line Git platform
• Short break
• Advanced Git Commands - facilitated by on-line Git platforms such as GitLab
• Lunch break
• Python Virtual Environments

Required Software

1. Python (3.12 recommended)
2. Access to the TUD GitLab
