[Hacksu] git pumped

[Hacksu's mailing list]

Welcome back hackers!

We hope you're getting back in the groove of things and that you're excited
for all the fun stuff we have planned for you this semester.

We will be meeting this week (same time and place) to learn all about
*Git/Github*. Here are some installation instructions:

Before you do anything, open a terminal instance/command prompt and type: git
--version

If you get something like: git version 2.2.1 then you're all good and have
nothing to worry about.
If you get "command not found" or something similar, follow the rest of
these instructions:

*If you are on Mac:*
If you have Homebrew <http://brew.sh/> (and you really should, this is by
far the best way to install a lot of tools), just run: brew install git
If you have XCode with it's command line tools, you probably already have a
version of git running. If you want to update, see above.
If you don't have either of those things (or couldn't get them working),
download and install git here: http://git-scm.com/downloads

*If you are running Linux:*
Your distribution probably came with a version of git already installed.
Here's how to install it on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
And that's it :)

*If you are on Windows:*

Download and Install git here: http://git-scm.com/downloads

   - Start the installation and follow the instructions.
   - at "Adjust your PATH environment" select "Run Git from Windows Command
   Prompt"

   - at "Configuring the line ending conversions" select "Checkout
   Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings"

This is a really useful technology that all of you should know, understand
and use to keep track of and publish their code as well as share with
contributing programmers. You will use this at hackathons and in life so
come and learn it.

Also, check out the *MHacks Car Pool*. Let us know ASAP if there are any
issues at all. We still have one open spot. This will be finalized
*Tuesday night*. See that here:

This week we have a lot of other announcements and information, so you
won't want to miss it.

As always, come happy, healthy, and hungry. :)

Love,
HacKSU Leaders
