CodeRefinery workshop software installation instructions
In CodeRefinery workshops, we will use and show a number of tools. We give you several options on how to participate (below).
If you are using a university-managed computer from the Aalto University, please follow specific instructions.
We recommend to ask a colleague/helper/team leader to go over the checklist with you.
10 minutes
The bare minimum to participate in exercises for workshop part 1 (week 1: git and GitHub ) and to only follow part 2 lectures/demonstrations:
You will be able to participate in almost all exercises of part 1 (week 1) using the web interface of GitHub. This will hopefully give you a good understanding of the basics of Git and GitHub. For your own work after the workshop, you will probably want to use a local editor and Git on your computer.
20 minutes
We believe that most learners will choose this option. In this case we recommend two things:
Visual Studio Code (or if you prefer, other Text editors)
15-60 minutes
In this case you want to use the command line interface for Git. This is good for power users but hard if you haven’t used command lines before:
30-90 minutes
If part 2 happens over multiple days, we will do the exercises together. If part 2 is kept short within one week (week 2), we will not ask you to run the exercises during the workshop 2:
Visual Studio Code (or if you prefer, other Text editors)
