The La Salle Computer Society (LSCS) Academics Committee bridged the gap between basic coding knowledge and professional collaboration standards during “Let’s Git Ready” — a webinar workshop held on February 14, 2026. Hosts Joel Ethan Batac and Justine Wee facilitated the session, which focused on the fundamentals of version control using Git and GitHub.

Brother Alexander Daguob, the event’s speaker, leveraged his unique background to demonstrate the benefits of maintaining organized code repositories. Be it for personal projects, academic group work, or professional development, Daguob emphasized that version control is an essential skill for modern developers.

The presentation was interlaced with a practical demonstration of Git’s command-line interface. Daguob guided attendees through essential Git commands, starting with “git config” and “git init.” He noted that command line mastery trumps reliance on graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the long run, as certain contexts — such as in website development — may not have a GUI available.

Daguob then followed up the demonstration by discussing industry standards, such as maintaining a .gitignore file, writing clean commit messages, resolving merge conflicts, practicing Git Flow, managing pull requests, and utilizing GitHub Issues. During this section, Daguob cited previous experience where he contributed to an open-source project.

The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session through Mentimeter, ensuring that the participants left with a solid foundation in collaborative coding.
