Show your peers how to collaborate with GitHub

Major League Hacking (MLH) offers support to students and educators preparing for the new school year by providing ready-made workshops, such as their MLH Localhost series, which includes a new workshop on using Git and GitHub collaboratively. This workshop is designed to help students learn version control terminology, best practices, and real-world coding skills, which are crucial for future professional developers. It covers essential topics like forking, branching, committing, and merging, allowing participants to work on projects collaboratively, such as adding their hometowns to a global map. Through practical exercises, participants gain a broader understanding of GitHub beyond code storage, recognizing it as a platform for real-time or asynchronous collaboration. MLH simplifies event planning by providing comprehensive resources, including a facilitator’s guide, presentation materials, and promotional items, ensuring that organizers can focus on building community rather than event logistics.
