Notes for DCI 190: Shenandoah, a studio course on online literary magazine design.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n GitHub<\/a>, based on the open source tool git<\/a>, most often functions as a version control system. (There are several other similar tools based on git, such as GitLab<\/a> and Bitbucket<\/a>.) I tend to prefer GitHub, though the others are also very good systems and you may very well encounter those in whatever workplace you enter. Version control will be discussed later in the course. Initially, we’re going to focus on using GitHub as a collaboration tool, as a way of facilitating communication among the class, as a project management tool, and as a mechanism for tracking things to do in the publishing on a literary magazine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/i> If you do not yet have a GitHub account, then signup for one. You can get a free account at github.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
