<H2>Work smarter with the powerful collaboration tool used to build the world's most advanced technologies. </H2>
While most known for popularity in the coding community <A HREF="https://git-scm.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Git</A> (tool) and <A HREF="http://github.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Github</A> (service) are useful in contexts outside web development.  While developers use it to store and manage code, there's nothing to prevent you from keeping text docs and other projects to show off.  Essentially Github is similar to Facebook or another social network: build a profile, upload projects to share and "follow" other accounts.  
<H3>Objective</H3>
This workshop will provide an introduction to better your collaboration and project execution regardless if you have prior a software development background.  We will teach a basic workflow and go over core features, different ways to undo or save changes of multiple versions of a project and collaborate. You will be able to work much more efficiently with developers and non-developers alike.
<H3>Outline</H3>
We'll start with an overview differentiating Git vs. Github while including discussion of open-source and use cases.  We'll show you how Git will save you time by prevent your co-worker from overriding your work!
