Introducing Git (command line)

[katrinleinweber]

Should come before #37 & #8.

What should/will the learning objective(s) be?

• Understand Git's concepts of the staging area
• Go through the modify-add-commit cycle a few times in a demo project (approx. episodes 2 to 4 of git-novice).

What do participants need to know / install / bring?

• some demo text (own abstract, "About" text of your university, any bunch of sentences)
• own laptop with installed Git and a text-editor (if you have none, yet, Atom.io is a good compromise)
