GitHub often gets pigeonholed as a tool strictly for software developers or a basic storage locker for SQL scripts. If you are a database professional who only uses it for version control, you are leaving a massive amount of functionality on the table.

In this session, Amy Abel and Rob Volk challenge that mindset by demonstrating how to turn GitHub into a creative playground for the data professional. We will explore how to apply a new way of thinking to the platform, uncovering solutions to problems you might not even realize could be handled here. You will see how to bend the rules to handle operational oddities and manage your work in unexpected ways, whether you are using the interface or the terminal.

Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on their existing tooling and a flexible set of ideas to make their work easier and more interesting.
