\section{How to use \textbf{Git} to upload/download homeworks/data}  \\  You will need to connect to the course \textbf{Bitbucket} repository to download the data. The repository is a version controlled in \textbf{Git} and I think is a good idea that you learn how \textbf{Git} works, at least at the basic level (which is how I use it anyway).  But what is \textbf{Git}?  Is a \textbf{version control} system that allow you to keep track of changes you do to whatever. Is like a superpowerful dropbox. Is used to control changes in source code in collaborative software development projects, and is the way the linux kernel is mantained. So it works, because keeping an eye on the linux kernel is not a minor thing and the world still exists. So it works.  Anyway, you'll need to do the following:  \begin{enumerate}  \item Install \href{http://git-scm.com/downloads}{Git} on your system. I recommend you install the command-line version.  \item Read the tutorials on how to use it. Most likely you are only going to need to read about the \href{http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Getting-a-Git-Repository}{basics}  \item Create an account on \href{https://bitbucket.org/}{Bitbucket}. Is free don't worry and if you use your academic email to register you get as many private repositories as you want for free!  \item Connect to the repository and synchronize the contents of it to a folder located on your computer, it doesn't matter where.  \end{enumerate}
