This repository is intended to get you up to speed with the software tools Git and GitHub, which you will be using during quant meetings and in your classes, projects, and careers afterwards. This is not meant to be comprehensive but instead give you a place to get started. After finishing the assignment, you'll be able to use the Git commands clone, pull, add, commit, and push, as well as how to fork a repository.

Your assignment is to create a fork of this repository, add your name to the names.txt file, and submit a pull request.

In this club, we will be using git and GitHub. Here are some of the differences between the two tools:

• Git is the software we use to manage our projects. GitHub is a platform that hosts our projects and allows us to use Git better.
• Git is an open-source project. GitHub is a company.
• Git operates on the command line (your terminal), while you use GitHub on the Internet.
• Git is a local program downloaded onto your computer that stores repositories and code on your device. GitHub hosts repositories on its servers (called remote, "in the cloud").

If you want to learn more about the two, you can visit their home pages and read the documentation featured there.

1. Download a git software package and create a GitHub account. See account.md to figure out how to do this. (skip this part if you already have git and a GitHub account)
2. Fork this repository (see fork.md).
3. Add your name to names.txt (see name.md).
4. Submit a pull request with your change (see pr.md).

If something is not clear, or if there are some issues related to the repository, please submit an issue.
