How can we effectively work together on the same code?

This is an introductory course, teaching the git and GitHub skills required to manage research code over it’s development lifecycle. These skills are essential for collaborative research teams.

This event is for University of Sheffield researchers and research students only. Please register with an @shef.ac.uk or @sheffield.ac.uk email address to ensure your ticket request is accepted.

Prerequisite skills: Some programming experience.

Learning Objectives

• Version controlling your own project through Git & GitHub.
• Basic collaboration through forks on GitHub.
• Advanced team collaboration through branches on GitHub.
• Using the GitKraken GUI for a smooth version control experience.

This course will be run online.

We are delighted to be able to make free at point of use training available to the research community, to enable better software and more open, reproducible research. However, free at point of use training is not free. The cost of a course can easily run to thousands of pounds, if preparation costs are taken into account.

If you sign up for a course, please make sure you either attend or cancel your booking. Bookings can usually be cancelled using eventbrite.com or, failing that, by emailing rse@sheffield.ac.uk.

Running courses that are not fully attended wastes our funding (which is provided by taxpayers, charities and students, amongst others) and reduces our collective capacity to improve research outputs and researcher experiences.

Persistent failure to attend booked courses might result in you being excluded from future training opportunities.

More details and registration via eventbrite.

Please note: This workshop is in person and will run over 2 half days from 09:30-13:00 on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th January 2023. If you would like to attend online instead please register for the course running 2022-03-06 / 2022-03-07.
