Course Description
This course introduces the basic concepts and skills for using Git and
GitHub, a popular version control system and platform, in a library
setting. Git and GitHub are often used to manage open source software,
library technology, and academic research projects. Individuals and teams
use Git to record changes within a project’s source code and GitHub to
share and publish their work online. Library staff are using these
technologies to support work in a variety of contexts, including metadata,
data analysis, digital humanities, open educational resources, archives,
and open science. While this course focuses on the fundamentals of Git and
GitHub, students will pick up some basic command-line and plain-text
editing skills along the way.
Throughout the course, students will:
- Examine use cases for Git and GitHub as tools for library technology
projects
- Use Git from the command-line to manage versions of a digital project
- Collaborate with peers on Git repositories hosted on the GitHub platform
- Consider how libraries can support the use of Git and GitHub for research
and education
- Test advanced GitHub features for project management, automation, and web
publishing

Course Structure
This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that
participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The
class does not meet together at any particular times, although the
instructor may set up optional synchronous chat sessions. Instruction
includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation
is in an online forum environment.
