Getting started with Git

Learning basic git commands takes less than half an hour. To install git and understand the principles, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the Pro Git book.
You need a GitHub account to publish and submit your work. Almost every project starts from an existing repository that you clone and modify.

Working with GitHub in Colab

  1. Fork the desired repository on GitHub
  2. Go to colab.research.google.com and log in with your university email
  3. In the open dialog, select GitHub and authorize access
  4. Select the forked repository from the dropdown — you will see all notebooks listed
  5. Open a notebook to edit it in Colab; changes persist to your GitHub fork
For a general introduction to Colab notebooks, see Welcome to Colaboratory.
