To what extent should educators be responsible for teaching Git? I learned just enough to push to master for my assignments, and handle merge conflicts. Profs didn't care if you knew Git, they cared if you know how red-black trees work, or how CANBus works.
- kodah 4y agoIf by educators you mean professors I think none. Git is very specific and teaching the various different VCS paradigms wouldn't really be helpful in learning Git specifically. I say that in light of the fact that (at least in the US) a university is responsible for teaching students theory, and we've about maxed CS and CE out in theory. I think what programming (outside of even CS and CE) is lacking is an apprenticeship structure that starts on your first day on the job. That's all to say theory and practical application are always different but especially different in industry.
