This may be well beyond the scope of what you are looking to do here but, the Comp Sci school to which I am attached has recently started to make use of its own GitLab instance, for storing project work and therefore expose comp sci students (and some academics!) to remote Git workflows in general. I was therefore wondering if there'd be any future in the Carpentries having/developing a reference GitLab instance that could be deployed as a standalone resource against which to teach/target the "remote" Git episodes BEFORE exposing people to github,com ? As some folk in SWC will be aware, I believe it to be a good thing that its lessons could be rendered, and/or offered, in a completely "offline format", https://github.com/vuw-ecs-kevin/shell-extras/tree/fully-offline-capable and so the idea of a "minimal GitLab VM", for /offline use/self study/ around Git does have some appeal, albeit probably just for people who like to (or who may have to) do things "offline" ? Prabably going to require/assume a little too much background knowledge to set up, but just a thought I wanted to put out there, Kevin M.
