Git is a distributed version control system that is becoming the standard for working with code in research projects: it helps to track changes in code and allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase.

GitHub is a web-based platform that provides hosting for Git projects and facilitates collaboration and working on different systems. This makes it a powerful tool: it allows you to work on your code on your local PC as well as on HPC or cloud systems, while the code is always synchronized via the central repository on GitHub.

Research Data Management Support organises this introductory workshop on 13 January from 09:00 to 13:00 at the Bucheliuszaal in the USP University Library. The workshop is open to all UU staff and students and is free of charge.
