Git installation in the git section? #472
Comments
Hmm, good point! I don't think Foundations addresses installation of git at all. In this section we just say
Others may disagree, but I expect that Pythia does not want the burden of keeping an up-to-date cross-platform guide on how to install git. My reasoning here is that this would be a significant maintenance burden that is not geoscience-specific. I see that we already link to the Carpentries site on git in the "References" section of this notebook. What about just adding a note (and link) right below the text I quoted above, saying something like "Don't have git on your system already? Check out these installation guides from the Carpentries" |
I think that makes a lot of sense! |
We've had some folks running through the git / GitHub section get stuck on the git install bit. I wonder if it might be helpful to more explicitly point to some install resources. I realize this is a bit different between operating systems, etc. so potentially add some complexity.
Pointing to the relevant section in the Software Carpentry Git Novice lesson could work too: https://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/#installing-git
Happy to make a quick PR if this is of interest. And apologies if I missed something.
