Introduce the fundamentals · 2022
Delivered a Git and GitHub workshop for 130 students, covering version control, collaboration, static websites, Linux command-line workflows and open-source participation.
Case study / Institutional open source
Helping students learn how developers build together.
I worked on introducing GitHub as part of an actual development workflow: version control, collaboration, contribution and public project work. The journey grew from introductory workshops into open-source experiences and structured institutional contribution workflows.

01 / The challenge
Students were learning to code, but projects often stayed on individual machines. The challenge was to make collaboration, pull requests and review part of how students build.
02 / The approach
The contribution workflow: students submit work, receive feedback and improve it before acceptance.
03 / Work done
Delivered a Git and GitHub workshop for 130 students, covering version control, collaboration, static websites, Linux command-line workflows and open-source participation.
Through CodeWave Hub, Hacktoberfest introduced 250+ participants to repositories, web development and collaborative open-source contribution.
Served as resource person for a Git/GitHub and open-source workshop reaching 116 students and eight faculty members.
Worked around repository structure, contribution guidelines, project submissions and PR-based collaboration. The LIET organization provides a shared home for department repositories and student work.
04 / Impact
Exposure to branching, pull requests, code review and public portfolios.
Open-source activities gave students peers and support while learning to contribute.
Department repositories and structured submissions connect GitHub to ongoing academic and technical work.
05 / Reflection
The meaningful shift is from storing files online to participating in a development workflow. Review and iteration make collaboration a practical learning experience.
