Hi everyone, At the end of September, the central example of the Software Carpentry Version Control with Git lesson <https://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/> will be modified, replacing the current story of Wolfman and Dracula with a new narrative around recipes. If you are curious about the specifics of the changes, you can explore the pull request on the lesson repository <https://github.com/swcarpentry/git-novice/pull/1003/files>.
To summarise how the lesson will change: names and contents of example files will change, mostly to text files with lists of ingredients the new story revolves around two people hired to build a recipe archive for a restaurant The changes to the structure and flow of the lesson are minimal. If you have taught the lesson recently, you should not notice much change: concepts are introduced in the same order, and exercises remain the same apart from the filenames/example content used. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask here and I will try my best to answer them. Many thanks to the lesson Maintainers, the SWC Governance Committee/Curriculum Advisors, and all the other members of the community who contributed to these updates. All the best, Toby PS if you teach Software Carpentry workshops, you may also be interested in another big change that was made to improve the Git lesson recently: it now teaches git switch and git restore instead of git checkout. -- Dr Toby Hodges (he/him) Director of Curriculum The Carpentries | https://carpentries.org Schedule a meeting with me: https://calendly.com/tobyhodges ------------------------------------------ This list is for the purpose of general discussion about The Carpentries including community activities, upcoming events, and announcements.
