Course goals and format

The aim of this course is to provide the basic Git knowledge necessary for Sigma2/Metacenter staff. The focus will be on solving certain routine tasks based around GitLab and learning tips and tricks along the way. We shall focus on how to get things done and best practices rather than covering all the basics on Git.
