Rules & guidelines
A few expectations that keep the session running smoothly for everyone.
- !Participants must bring their own laptops
- !Git and GitHub accounts must be set up before the session
- !Active participation in hands-on activities is mandatory
- !Team collaboration must follow ethical and professional conduct
- !All participants will receive certificates upon successful completion
The second rule is the one to act on now: install Git and create your GitHub account before the session starts. The Setup Guide below walks through both in about 20–30 minutes.
Evaluation & recognition
A short Q&A session or quiz on the workshop platform — focused on reinforcing what was covered, not on grading performance.
All participants who complete the workshop receive a Certificate of Completion, issued as a digital certificate.
Expected outcomes
- ✓Improved understanding of Git workflow and collaboration
- ✓Hands-on experience with GitHub repositories and pull requests
- ✓Ability to manage real-world development projects using version control
- ✓Strengthened teamwork and professional coding practices
Conclusion
The Git & GitHub Workshop 2026 aims to foster a culture of structured development, collaboration, and version control excellence among students. It is more than a workshop — it is a practical gateway to industry-ready software engineering practices.
Come with Git installed and GitHub ready.
We'll spend the full three hours building, not installing. The Setup Guide covers Git installation on macOS and Windows, creating your GitHub account, configuring it correctly, and verifying your first push — about 20–30 minutes, any time before 14 August.
