Instructions to submit your weekly session summaries
This is an assignment for the Master en histoire européenne contemporaine - MAHEC-66: Introduction to digital history
- Create you own (free) account on GitHub https://github.com/
- Send your account name and communicate it to us via this link To access the document, you will need to provide a password (provided by email from us).
- Once we have your account, we will add you as collaborators to a repository specifically created for our course. You will then be notified on the email address that is associated to your GH user account that you received an invitation. Please accept the invitation.
GitHub is a code repository used mainly by developers but can be useful also for any collaborative project based on sets of data submitted or directly created on the platform. GitHub is based on git, a technology that allows multilateral decentralized access to a given project, and tracking of its multiple versions in a way that enhances and facilitates collaborative work involving many contributing parties.
A project = a repository that any user can open. If multiple collaborators need to access the same project, they need a) to have GitHub user accounts b) access to the repository of the project, granted by the administrator.
Repository URL Our repository is here: https://github.com/C2DH/mahec-digital-history/ - if you read this page, you are actually in it!
