this is one change

Welcome to NOAA-EPIC/training-github!

Prerequisites

1. A laptop, preferably a Mac or Linux system. A Windows system can also work if using a Windows Terminal or PuTTY, and downloading Git-Bash

2. Verify that you have git (or Git-Bash on Windows) installed on your system: git --version (Note that version 2.30+ is recommended for working with UFS repositories; not required for today).

   • If you have root privileges on Linux, then you can follow these instructions for updating your version of git.
   • On MacOS, you could use Homebrew package manager to install git.
   • If you are on a Windows machine, you can download and install Git-Bash.

3. Next, create a GitHub account if you do not already have one: GitHub Signup

4. Clone a repository to your local system using git utility to download the slides and presentations:

   git clone https://github.com/NOAA-EPIC/training-github.git

   cd ./training-github

   The directory ./training-github/ will contain all of the materials for the tutorial.
