Git + Github
9th Oct, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Learning how to use GitHub is an essential skill that is used in a wide range of software development activities as well with a few management related activities. It can also be used a simple tool to host websites as well. Collaborative work is especially a lot more important in times like this, where we have to work from home and be in sync with our teams.
