Abstract

Abstract: I will talk about how to keep track of changes to your scientific code as it develops, something called version control. I will tell you about the benefits of version control on your scientific projects and why you should consider adopting this as a daily habit. At first this may seem daunting, but my aim with this talk is to demystify this concept and show you how you can make this part of your daily workflow using simple habits and freely available software. I will demonstrate this on a toy example using standard and widely used tools such as git and github. I will also touch on more advanced and specific topics such as collaboratively developing code using github and how to publish you scientific code along with your paper on github with doi.
