Topics

Whether you are new to writing code or a grant-laden principal investigator wanting to brush up on the basics, committing to best practices for code management is an essential part of the research process. Participants will learn:

  • Why version control is important
  • How to set-up and work with a local Git repository on the command line
  • How to use GitHub as a remote repository for collaboration

This workshop will be held on Zoom and will not be recorded. It is open to graduate students, faculty and staff researchers from all disciplines. No prior experience is required, but participants should have or create a GitHub account.

Installation instructions will be sent to registrants approximately one week before the workshop.

This event will be taught by Matthew Thompson and Elizabeth Campolongo from the Imageomics Institute and is presented in partnership with OSU Code Club and the Research Commons.
