Software Carpentry: Version Control and Open Science Session 3

Wednesday, March 4, 2020

4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

246 Hesburgh Library, Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship

Workshop Overview

In this session we’ll extend what we learned in Sessions 1-2, and explore how a version control system can be leveraged as an electronic lab notebook for computational work. We’ll learn about hosting digital work on GitHub and how to bring your GitHub files into OpenScience Framework projects and mint a DOI. We’ll review open science best practices for how to share, license, and cite your digital work.

Objectives

  1. Learn how a version control system can be leveraged as an electronic lab notebook for computational work
  2. Learn why adding licensing information to a repository is important, and how to choose a proper license
  3. Make your work easy to cite
  4. Learn about the different options for hosting scholarly/scientific digital work

In this lesson, we further use Git from the Unix Shell and explore GitHub. Please review episodes 1-9 from the git carpentries curriculum, which we covered in the previous session before attending this workshop.

Bring your laptop.

Please see this section of the workshop template for instructions on installing Git and preparing for the workshop. You will need an account at github.com for parts of the Git lesson. If you’d like help to set up your shell environment, install Git, and set up a user account in Github, please contact cds@nd.edu.

You can take this workshop to build toward the completion of either the Software or Library Carpentries lesson series. This workshop is taught by a Carpentries-certified instructor.
