Dear all,

Tomorrow 11:00 am we will give a hands-on tutorial on version control tools for collaborative projects and grant writing. We will focus on understanding the git protocol for managing versions of a project using GitHub (or GitLab). We will apply this to the management of research and programming projects. One the one hand, we will see how to use git to manage grant-writing and article-writing projects using LaTeX and Zotero. On the other hand, we will use git to manage programming projects  across different users and local machines, such as our research team using PCs and the HPC cluster Proteus. For programming, we will work with Visual Studio code, Python and pip for creating environments.

If you bring a set-up computer we should be able to use the tutorial to configure software. It would be of great help if you have a functioning and up-to-date package manager installed in your Operating System: winget + PowerShell for Windows, Brew for MacOs or the standard package manager of your distro if you use Linux (apt for Debian based systems).
