Software Development For Research: Version Control Principles

Software development and computer programming is increasingly a major part of scientific research. Projects can quickly grow, and it can be difficult to manage changes, especially if multiple programmers are editing the same project at once! This workshop will cover Git, a commonly-used tool for managing coding projects with multiple users, with features to make or remove edits, and track information related to those changes. After completing the workshop attendees will have a good understanding of Git workflow and will know how to perform the most common Git operations via the command line.

This is part of a series of workshops focused on software and coding from a research perspective.
