In this drop-in session, we will be available to help you install Git on your computer and verify that you have all the software installed properly in order to participate in the afternoon session. If you have successfully installed all of the required software and verified your connection to Github via SSH, you do not need to attend this session.

If you would like assistance with any or all of the following setup, please plan to attend the 10 AM - 12 PM session for help! For the sake of time, we will be unable to assist with this during the 2 PM - 4 PM session.

Ahead of the workshop, participants should download Visual Studio Code and register for a free account on Github. If you are using a Windows operating system, download Git. Participants should also connect to Github via SSH.
