Hi,
I can support this (based on limited experience with Desktop
interface) . The one time the GUI interface was used in lesson all the
menue where quite overwhelming for learners and hard to described for
the instructor what to click. The CLI interface used in all the other
workshops was clear and without that visual clutter.
Cheers
Konrad

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) 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/ 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!
