Help editing markdown can be found at this excellent markdown cheatsheet
- markdown: text file with little bit of formatting (e.g. bold, headings, italics)
- reproducible: being able to get the same results from the same data and code; as opposite to replicable (comparable results from different data)
- clone: a copy of a Github repository on your local machine (e.g.
/User/Username/Repos/ReproducibleResearch). - branch
- fork: a copy of a repository that maintains the history of the original and keeps that link to the original. You can fork a repository to make changes without affecting the original project. It can be used as a starting point for a new project, or to propose changes (submitting a pull request). For more information see https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo and https://guides.github.com/activities/forking.
