Git & Github (Spring 2026)

Git and Github logo

A 1-day introductory workshop for researchers who are interested in learning how to share their code and reports with group members or external collaborators

The course encompasses editing, improving, and maintaining scripts with multiple contributors.

The one-day workshop will introduce version control, branching, and resolving conflicts in git and, more generally, how to efficiently collaborate on this platform. The workshop will include a hands-on exercise in which participants can try out their newly acquired knowledge.

Participants may have no (or only very little) experience in working with git and GitHub.

Requirements

We will be using git through the command line, so we expect workshop participants to know the basics of Linux command line use, e.g. moving/making files, copy, download, etc.

If you have not worked on a terminal before, you are still welcome to join the first part of the workshop, which will include an introduction to the graphical interface GitHub, but you may not be able to do the second part of the workshop which includes exercises using the git language.
