Abstract: 

In May 20121, the DSpace committers moved the DSpace project from the centralized source code management system SVN to Github. While many participants in the community still regard this migration as a technical “under the hood” evolution, it comes with important benefits for repository managers and developers.
This workshop will feature a few short presentation parts:

• General, non-DSpace related Github basics
• How DSpace repository managers and committers use github
• A few must know details about the underlying Git protocol

The bulk of the workshop will be spent in guiding the participants with hands-on parts:

• Creating a Github account
• Forking their own DSpace repository
• Installing Git on their local laptops
• Using the Github Windows or Mac client for moving changes from their local machine
back to Github
