SCOUT Cohort 1 | Git & GitHub Day 1: Getting Started with Version Control

SCOUT Cohort 1 | Git & GitHub — Day 1 Welcome to Day 1 of the SCOUT Cohort 1 learning journey! In this session, learners were introduced to **Git and GitHub**, two essential tools for version control, project management, and collaboration in technology. What We Covered Introduction to Git and version control Understanding GitHub Installing and configuring Git Creating a GitHub account Creating and initializing a repository Making commits Connecting a local repository to GitHub Pushing projects to GitHub Practical Assignment Learners put the concepts into practice by setting up their own GitHub repositories, initializing Git, making their first commit, and pushing their projects online. The objective was simple: Don't just learn Git. Use it. This is only the beginning. Follow along as our learners build practical skills, complete projects, and create evidence of what they can do. About SCOUT SCOUT — From Learning to Proof. SCOUT is an education initiative focused on equipping learners with practical skills in **data, research, technology, and career development**. We believe learning should go beyond certificates and theory. **We build thinkers. We produce evidence. We create opportunities.** 🔔 *Subscribe to the SCOUT channel* to follow our cohort journey, training sessions, projects, workshops, and more. #SCOUT #SCOUTCohort1 #Git #GitHub #VersionControl #TechEducation #DataAndResearch #FromLearningToProof
