Do you have a basic understanding of scientific coding and collaborative tools like GitHub, but find yourself exasperated when trying to code with others or lost in the depths of GitHub trying to figure out what somebody else’s code package is trying to do?

Through this in-person workshop you will learn to:
- Explore and understand the organization of a github code repositories that support research publications and/or packages.
- Use others’ code in your own workflows.
- Engage with the owners/maintainers and the broader coding community to identify and participate in discussion of issues.
- Coding: Be comfortable with coding in a language like R and/or Python. In other words: You should be familiar with reading/writing and basic wrangling of files or dataframes.
- Git: Have used Git to track changes in your code, OR have completed the introduction to the "git" distributed version control system on the Software Carpentries website, and understand the terms: git add, commits, commit message, git history, git remote, push, pull.
- GitHub: Have at least minimal experience with github and ideally have a project with some of your code there.
*If you have no experience with Github, then, prior to the workshop, please create an account. If you have attended a previous workshop covering these tasks, then that is sufficient. - Open Science: Desire to become more of an active participant in the open science community. In other words: Be curious about using others' code and writing code that others can use.
Our goal is to open the door for you to participate with confidence in collaborative coding, both with immediate colleagues and the broader open science community!
