Module 1.1 Assignment

Given what you have learned about Git, why would you want to use Git in your classroom?

👋 @bertvv can you answer the question as well 😄

Oops, sure.

Well, I already use it, and quite intensively, at that. For proof, you can check my personal Github https://github.com/bertvv and the Github organisation we use for student work and collaboration between faculty https://github.com/HoGentTIN for proof.

Specifically, I use Git in the classroom for:

• course content like:
  • syllabi, e.g. https://github.com/hogenttin/elnx-syllabus
  • guides, e.g. https://bertvv.github.io/linux-network-troubleshooting/, https://github.com/hogenttin/bachproef-gids
  • lecture slides, e.g. https://hogenttin.github.io/elnx-syllabus/, https://github.com/HoGentTIN/workshop-git-itlab
  • assignments, e.g. https://github.com/hogenttin/elnx-sme
• collaborating with colleagues on course material, e.g. https://github.com/HoGentTIN/onderzoekstechnieken-cursus
• showing my students that I apply best practices that I talk about in class myself (e.g. https://bertvv.github.io/cheat-sheets/
• writing personal notes and documentation (no public repos)
• following up on student work through Github Classroom
• configuration code, documentation and scripts for ict infrastructure I manage
• ...

Almost everything I do is stored in a Git repository. Last week, searching for git repos in my home directory yielded the following result (including student work):

$ find ~ -type d -name '.git' | wc -l
860

Does that suffice as an answer? :-D
