Git yourself a leg up for student projects
summary
Argues that students need Git and that GitHub offers more than backups: uses Codespaces for a browser dev box, Copilot to scaffold a Flask flash‑card app and to draft pytest cases, and GitHub Actions to run those tests on every commit. Shows turning a repo into a template (avoids scary commit history), reports 31 people forking a template in a stream, removes answers before students work, and demonstrates tests going from red to green so the setup actually validates student submissions.
