Git and GitHub for Social Science Research - intermediate level

• Library

Collaborate effectively and securely with Git and GitHub

In this session, we will explore some of the Git and GitHub features to support research collaboration. Participants will learn how to effectively collaborate with multiple contributors and maintain a clean project history. This session is ideal for researchers with a foundational understanding of Git and GitHub who want to enhance their collaborative workflows.

Covered topics

• Adding collaborators to your repository
• Work safely together and in parallel
• Manage conflicts (what if you and your collaborators rewrite the same paragraph or piece of code?)
• Safeguard the "main" line of work by reviewing other's contributions

This training will include practical work and you are invited to:

• Bring your laptop
• Install Git in advance: https://git-scm.com/install/
• Install GitHub Desktop in advance: https://desktop.github.com/download/

Instructors:

• Mathieu Dubied, SPS Researcher
• Simone Sacchi, Research Data Librarian

Location: Stockholm meeting room, first floor, EUI Library.
