CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The Department of Master of Computer Applications organised a hands-on workshop on GitHub Hosting and Project Deployment on 29-11-2025. The workshop aimed to provide students with practical knowledge of GitHub for hosting, version control, and deployment. It emphasised skills that enable students to manage, publish, and maintain projects effectively.

The resource person, Mr Pavan Kumar VJ, Associate SDE at Zetwerk, introduced the fundamentals of Git and GitHub in modern software development. Participants learnt about repositories, commits, branching, merging, and pull requests. They practised creating and managing GitHub repositories using both desktop and command-line tools.

The session explained GitHub Pages for hosting static websites and deploying directly from repositories. Students also explored environment setup, README creation, and adding licenses for professional visibility. The workshop was highly interactive, with students actively engaging in coding exercises.

They created repositories, pushed code, cloned projects, and resolved merge conflicts. Participants successfully published personal websites using GitHub Pages. Queries on deployment issues, folder structures, and collaboration were addressed thoroughly.

Key takeaways included a strong understanding of version control and GitHub workflows. Students gained confidence in maintaining portfolios and contributing to open-source projects. Feedback indicated the workshop bridged theory and practice, inspiring students to apply these skills in internships and project development.
