Git and GitHub for Students with Joe Nash

Edward and Martin talk with Joe Nash about using Git in education, self-diagnosed OCD around capitalization, and using pull requests in non-development workflows. Joe is the student program manager at GitHub, where his work aims to help student leaders build inclusive learning communities. When not capitalising the H in GitHub, Joe can usually be found talking about the educational benefits of hackathons, or rolling d20s.

You can teach it, but It only really makes sense if you know the history of what came before and have worked at a level of complexity where you NEED it. Once you get there it changes your worldview but explaining why that’s so is SO hard. David Newbury (@workergnome)
