Github is a cloud-based platform commonly used to host open-source coding project… this workshop will introduce how it can be used more broadly to back-up your research projects, collaborate within your lab and with remote colleagues, and even practice open science by (optionally) sharing your research project publicly.
This workshop is open to everyone; NO previous experience with programming/git/command-line is required.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- explain the benefits of version control
- articulate the differences between
git
andGithub
- create and update repositories using Github Desktop and the Github website
- write descriptive README files
- select and apply a license to a GitHub project
