About our events

Mimmit koodaa (Women who code) program and its events are designed for women and individuals who identify as non-binary.

With free events, we answer your questions and wishes. If you want to ask the speaker your questions in advance, you can email them to info@mimmitkoodaa.fi with the subject ”Mimmit koodaa event”. The facilitators will take the questions into account when preparing.

You can also submit requests for new content or ask questions by email to info@mimmitkoodaa.fi.

Git is a distributed version control system, and it is currently the industry standard for code management and collaboration. Because of this, knowing Git is one of the most critical development tools one can learn. It can be applied in any project regardless of coding language.

This event is tailored specifically for individuals who are new to coding or have a basic understanding of it and hold an interest in the subject. While prior coding experience is beneficial, it is not a prerequisite to participate.

What will you learn?

In this course, we will go through the basics of using Git. You will learn how to handle most of your day-to-day interactions with Git and also some information on how it works ‘behind the scenes’.

You will also learn how to handle some more tricky situations like how to fix merge conflicts, cherry-picking only the parts of some code and adding it to your own etc. This workshop will mostly be focusing on the console command version of Git with little emphasis on the many different IDE plugins that exist.

About the event day

The workshop will consist of presentations and exercises. For the course, you will only need your own laptop with Git installed. Instructions on how to install it can be found below
