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.

● 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
