2022 Data Therapy: Git/GitHub Sessions
2022 Data Therapy: Git/GitHub Sessions
ONLINE -Date and time: See the calendar invite
Instructors: Greg Maurer
We will start this with a 1-hour beginner-level tutorial on using git and GitHub as a researcher. You’ll learn a little about why you might want to incorporate git into your scientific workflows, and how to get started doing that. Future sessions will cover more advanced topics. Using git and GitHub effectively takes quite a bit of practice, so we’ll cover the basics and leave room for adding more tutorials down the road (open to suggestions on that).
Getting set up
Basically you will need to install git and make yourself an account at https://github.com. There are quite a few ways to do this, but check the JEDS setup instructions for some recommended ones.
If you have trouble preparing or need help please contact Greg (gmaurer@nmsu.edu).
