Hi Jamen, I’m not sure what you’re referring to with “the same sample data” but am assuming that you’re talking about the combined sample data for a full workshop – Unix, Git, and programming language. It can be a pain to make sure that learners download several zip files for each part of the lesson. What we do, which I blatantly copied from the University of Oklahoma, is maintain a separate GitHub repository that contains all of the data learners need for a SWC workshop. One of the first things we do in a workshop is ask the learners to clone this repo down to their local machines. We do this with a live coding example that’s also pasted into the Etherpad. No one is expected to know what they’re doing at this point in the lesson. This preliminary step tests their Git installs and ensures that everyone is beginning the workshop with the same directory structure and sample data files. You can take a look at the repo here: https://github.com/kulibraries/ku-swc-files

As a new instructor - and one who just taught SC: Unix last Friday - I was wondering about the sample data that is being used. It seems it would make more sense if we used the same sample data instead of having to download a separate zip file for each. I realize that will take some work to do, though, but I do see a lot of benefit from this. Am I out of my mind?
