You will learn to use Bash and Git together to synchronize your work across computers, collaborate with others, and even deploy applications to the cloud. In this workshop, you will learn the basics to understand and use Git, including working with the popular "social coding" website, GitHub where you can keep a private backup copy of your code or choose to publish it to the world.
