Overview

The course is now full. Thank you for your understanding.

Git is an open source, distributed, version control system for tracking changes in source code and other types of text documents. Created by Linus Torvald and first released in 2005, git has become the de facto standard for project source code management, and is extensively used both in open source and commercial software development. Note that the usage of git is not limited to code development, but can also be used to keep track of data analysis scripts and pipelines. This one-day course will give an introduction to git and its most useful commands. The course covers the following aspects:

  • git concepts and how it differs from other version control systems.
  • git basics: setup, creating repos and commiting content.
  • branch management and code merging.
  • collaborative workflow best-practices and examples.
  • online git hosting: github/gitlab.

Audience

This course is aimed at people with no or little knowledge of git and that are interested in using a version control system for collaborative work or simply to keep track of modification in their files. This obviously includes people working on code development, but also scientist willing to improve their analyses' reproducibility by keeping track of their scripts using a version control system.
