- A GitHub.com account. If you don't already have a GitHub.com account, you can create one here. Take this short video Getting Started with GitHub if you're brand new and want to get a high-level overview of the platform.
- Comfortable working with code/syntax. {: .prereq}
Our goal is to introduce you to how we use GitHub.com for creating and delivering GIS workshops online, so that you can consider using them in your own work. There will be a hands-on section where we will fork ("copy") an existing workshop repo to your own GitHub account, publish the repo with GitHub Pages, and to make some edits.
You may not feel totally comfortable using GitHub – this is okay. As with any skill, using Jekyll and GitHub Pages takes practice. In this workshop, we want you to understand and get familiar with some of the workflows and terminology so that you are equipped to experiment on your own.
