Git & GitHub Workshop

Overview

Open Sсience is a practice of making research products and processes available to all, which fosters collaborations, reproducibility, and equity. GitHub is an established and convenient platform for sharing your data, code (as a method), and results with the community. It is also crafted to facilitate efficient interaction with your lab mates for joint contributions. It uses Git under the hood - a version control system which simplifies In this workshop, we will learn how to use Git commands for creating and managing so-called repositories (where you store the materials); we will play around with branching and merging to empower you with collaborative techniques. We will then make the connection between local changes and a remote repository, located in GitHub, for others to see what you are working on and contribute on top of your findings. We will finish by exploring open-source repositories and how you can contribute to the computational tools today!
