This bilingual (French and English) 45-minute GitHub presentation is intend to enable any participant, who has no prior experience with GitHub, to create a GitHub account, create a Git repository on their computer, and sequentially perform the following actions:

i) The participant creates a local project on their computer and pushes it to a GitHub repository to which the participant has access.

ii) The presenter modifies the project that the participant uploaded to GitHub.

iii) The participant also modifies the project locally.

iv) The participant pulls the remote project from GitHub onto their local machine and merges it with their own changes, managing conflicts if necessary. The project must be very simple, for example an HTML file that displays “Hello, the participant’s name.”

v) The participant clones (pulls) a remote project from the presenter onto their local computer.

vi) The participant creates a new local branch that is different from the project’s default branch.

vii) The participant modifies the new branch and points it to the default branch of the remote project.

viii) The participant pushes the modified project to the remote repository.

ix) The presenter validates the participant’s changes.

Of course, it will be important during the presentation to explain the concepts of branching, cloning, pushing, pulling, commit, etc. The terms “project” and “repository” are considered synonymous.
