Description

The first Git and GitHub class specifically for writers!
More and more, writers are being asked to use Git and GitHub for their documents. This is part of a philosophy called “Docs Like Code”, where documentation is created using the same tools and processes that code is. The problem is that Git and GitHub were designed specifically for developers, and these classes don’t work as well for writers.
This class differs from other Git and GitHub classes in that:
•It explains concepts in ways that are meaningful to writers
•All example files are documents rather than code
•It talks about how files are used to create documentation
This course is for technical writers, project managers, and anyone who writes who needs to use version control tools like Git and GitHub. It covers:
•What version control is
•What “Docs Like Code” means
•How to use Git manage file versions
•How to use GitHub for pull requests and forking
•How to handle difficult problems
•How Git is used for documentation
•Alternatives to GitHub
In addition to videos, this course contains 14 hands-on exercises that lead you step-by-step in using Git and GitHub. All PowerPoint presentations are available as resources.
No prior experience necessary. Just an interest in writing and a desire to learn Git.

You will learn

✓ The concept called “Docs Like Code”
✓ How to use Git and GitHub when writing documentation
