Introduction to Version Control with Git
Date: 25 June 2025 @ 09:30 - 17:00
Timezone: Amsterdam
Language of instruction: English
Join us for a one-day workshop for PhD students, postdocs, and researchers at TU/e. Based on carpentry training materials, this hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of version control using Git.
Who should attend?
- Researchers looking to manage their code and documentation more effectively.
- Those interested in collaborative software development.
- Anyone curious about enhancing their research with version control.
Workshop goals:
We aim to equip the 4TU.ResearchData community with basic version control skills to improve the efficiency and reproducibility of their software projects. We will demonstrate key concepts through a simple Python script. Note that executing the script is not essential to the workshop's core objectives.
Requirements:
Prior (basic) experience with the Unix shell command line interface is highly recommended.
No prior experience with Python is necessary.
Program:
● 09:30 – 12.30 : Creating and managing a local Git repository
● 12:30- 13:30 Lunch
● 13.30-15:30 : Types of collaborations and good practices for collaboration
● 15.30-16.30 : Getting to know 4TU.ResearchData
