Hi Anelda, The closest I've got to addressing real code is to start (during a bash / language/ git / language workshop ) by showcasing a brief pre-prepared git repository from the previous day's bash lesson.
https://github.com/lonsbio/git_shell_example I still taught the vanilla Dracula git afterwards, but felt that by showing that the various versions of the same shell script they'd worked on the day before, there was at least some insight into real code. It was also a quick way to show the finished product of a repository on both command line and via GitHub. Hope that helps!
