About
GitGud was a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop hosted by OSDC that introduced students and newcomers to Git, GitHub, version control, and open-source collaboration through a shared meme project.
The workshop focused on learning by doing. Participants worked with Git and GitHub throughout the process and made their first contribution to an open-source project.
