I would not expect a university to teach git. Maybe the theory of version control systems, their history, or a comparison of different version control systems.
But not how to use the tool.
But not how to use the tool.
We were told to version control a group project, but all we were given was an SVN repo and told "if anything goes wrong, email this address".
Personally I would expect tuition through the use of a tool, that tool doesn't have to be git, it just so happens to be the tool I've had the most exposure to.
a) Explain the value of version control and actively promote its usage
b) Drop some hints on which good version control systems are out there, one of which is git, then let students pick, learn and run with their own choice
It'd take all of half an hour, with great benefits for students.
