By partnering with Jami, the NCSU Libraries enabled students and faculty from computer science to entomology to industrial and systems engineering to learn how to use Git and GitHub for their work and for collaboration. Feedback from attendees of Jami’s workshops has been overwhelmingly positive; and the diversity of disciplines represented by participants show how widespread the desire and need is on campus to learn how to use these types of collaborative, authoring, and version control tools.
