Hi Anelda,
The closest I've got to addressing real code is to start (during a bash /
language/ git / language workshop ) by showcasing a brief pre-prepared git
repository from the previous day's bash lesson.

Hi Anelda,
I recently taught a 2 hour 'GitHub for bioinformatics' workshop for my lab

various training purposes (

Rose raises some good points.
When I teach git to students who have no exposure to version control, I find
