I'm not sure if this is the right place but I personally find github desktop to
be even more confusing than the terminal. I feel that GUI abstracts away the
way git works with files and I would it to be non intuitive. I wasn't pleased
with the file listing and changes views either. However, I'm not sure how it
looks to novices.

Hi Katrin, Elizabeth, et al.
I’m planning a couple of web design workshop for high school students and
Cameroon researchers and want to introduce the basics of Git to both
communities. The info (and public git repositories) about Github Desktop is so
helpful.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Katrin,
I use GitHub desktop all the time for introductions to git and found that you
can really speed through things and get people really comfortable even in just
an hour. I ran a git/github lesson for one of my classes that ran for about 3
hours. It started with my introduction to github desktop (
https://github.com/elliewix/github-training-brain-dumps/blob/master/github_directions.md
[https://github.com/elliewix/github-training-brain-dumps/blob/master/github_directions.md]
) adapted to just use markdown files, and then patched into the SWC git
lesson. Getting introduced to the vocabulary first within a gui and then seeing
how the command line actions related to actions on the website and the GUI
seemed to really help reinforce the concepts. Once I clean up all the materials
for that class I'll be posting things up on github.
I haven't seen the built in tutorial, but will check that out!

So true!

https://desktop.github.com/ [https://desktop.github.com/] added a built-in
tutorial recently. Has anyone used this in a workshop?
I'd be happy to receive some comments on that, because I'm planning to use it
in a few weeks.
Thanks and greetings!
Katrin
