Green - Beginner sessions

Tools for Contributors

In this session, you will learn about the tools that many of the maintainers and contributors use when they are working on Egeria. With the exception of tools that are embedded on our processes, such as Git and Maven, you are not required to use the same tools. However, if you are using the same tools and you get stuck then the Egeria community is more likely to be able to help.
