#Meeting 26/09/2016 - Git/Bash introduction

The meeting held on Monday 26/09 was the first of potentially multiple git/bash presentations.

• Presentation given by kevin with Keeyan giving assistance.

• Gave the main overarching purpose of git/bash and introduced many to the terminal and command line interfaces

  • Many didn't have git/bash installed and many hadn't used it before
  • Brief discussion over different OS installs

• Showed the basics to github

  • People used git clone to copy the remote repo to their local machines
  • Showed git status monitoring of files
  • Showed git add and git commit usage
  • Used git branch to create seperate branches for each person to use, and then pushed these using git push (and a little troubleshooting) to push up to remote repo again

• Discussed briefly about the different teams for projects for this year

  • There are teams set up on GitHub as it is assumed/hoped that any devwork will be put through the AUCSS github
    • Makes it easier for people to drop in and out and shows historic info too
  • Go have a look at the teams and sign up!

• Meeting ended after everyone had pushed up a modified readme to github.

  • Intention is that Wednesdays meeting will look at some more concepts, including possibly pull requests etc.
  • Brief discussion about other projects - a lot of interest in neural networks
