Pre-course requirements

In order to complete this course you will need software installed on your computer.

Please make sure you have this installed before you begin the course.

In order to complete this course there are two components:

• You will need to acquire the software “Git” on your machine
• You will need an account on either your departments remote Git repo (GitLab, GitHub etc.) if it exists or your own private GitHub account (Do not use this for “real” work projects unless advised by your department - only as a tool to learn the skills in this course).

You will need access to whatever method your department uses for remote Git Repository access, however, it is suggested not to practice in the same place as real working projects. Please contact your IT department or Git users for guidance on your specific use case.

You can make a personal GitHub account here.

How we link this account and your device will be covered in the course.
