Version control with Git

Using a version control system provides better management to your code. It allows tracing back changes made, facilitates collaboration and dissemination of the code files. As using a version control system is becoming standard, some scientific journals (e.g. Science and Nature) require code used for modelling or data analysis to be available in a publicly accessible repository. Git is the most popular and commonly used version control software.

Following are the different ways in which you can learn version control with Git:

• Sign up for the software carpentry workshop (free of cost) at TU Delft.

• Learn at your own pace using the publicly available training material from the Software Carpentry and Code Refinery

• Use the Repository Template to make your code more compliant with FAIR principles
