The new semester on ETH finally started and with it, we have prepared courses for the upcoming semester.

As usual, we talk about Git, Bash and Linux.
You can also look forward to a spotlight presentation about F-droid. If that's not enough, we also organise regular "Stammtisch" in our office CAB E14.

Do you find menu-driven interfaces confusing? In UNIX systems (which include Mac OS), you don't have to sift through infinite menu options, you can just tell your computer what you want! To interface with your computer, the scripting language Bash is most often used. If you want to learn how to use it, come today to the Student Project House (Clausiusstrasse 16, 8006 Zürich) from 18:15 until 20:00.

Is it possible for multiple people to work on the same software project at the same time? Yes, but to make it not only possible, but also efficient, a version-control system is needed. Today, the software of choice for this is git.

If you want to learn how it works with hands-on examples, come to our Git course today at 18:15-20:00 in the Student Project House (Clausiusstrasse 16, 8006 Zürich) - E-Floor

Have you always wanted to give Linux a go, but it was too intimidating? Or were you just curious and wanted to check it out?
Come to our install event where we will personally assist you with the installation of Linux as well as with your first steps and basic customization.

We're there today from 17:30 to 21:00 in the Student Project House (Clausiusstrasse 16, 8006 Zürich) - H-Floor.
