Today, my organization Proton organized a Git workshop for students at our faculty.
The goal was to introduce students to the basics of Git and version control, with a hands-on approach and help from experienced peers. Participants had a chance to get comfortable with real workflows—cloning repos, committing changes, branching, and resolving conflicts—skills that are essential for any collaborative software project.
Organizing this session was both fun and rewarding. Designing the lesson plan made us reflect on what actually matters when you’re just starting out with Git, and how to explain it in a way that makes sense. Watching students have their “a-ha” moment when they finally understood branches or how to resolve a merge conflict was the best part.
We’re always happy when we can share knowledge and empower our student community with practical tools. And judging by the feedback, this definitely won’t be the last workshop of this kind!
