GIT Data Carpentry Workshop - Faculty of Science and Engineering

The Institute supports a growing network of SMEs, external organisations, government departments, researchers, co-operative research centres, and not-for-profits across various sectors such as, but not limited to, health sciences, manufacturing, transport, art and culture, astronomy, agriculture, and aquaculture. At present the Institute would typically contribute to 30-40 research projects per annum, working with over 50 external organisations.

We are offering an in-person Data Carpentry Workshop in Git for Curtin University staff and students, held from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm on Monday, 29th May 2023.This hands-on workshop will cover an introduction to version control using Git, a free and open source distributed version control system.<a href="https://carpentries.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Carpentries</a> mission is to build global capacity in essential data and computational skills for conducting efficient, open, and reproducible research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.For more information on what we teach and why, please see our paper <a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001745" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"Best Practices for Scientific Computing".</a>Registration is free of charge, but please make sure you cancel your booking through Eventbrite at least 48 hours prior to the event if you are unable to attend, so someone else can take your spot. Please be aware that people who register for CIC events and then do not attend (without cancellation) will not be able to attend future CIC events. Please register with your Curtin University staff or student email address.Course Content: Version control is an efficient method of keeping a record of changes made to your work over time. Each set of changes creates a new commit of the files and the version control system allows users to recover old commits reliably and helps manage conflicting changes made by different users. It is extremely useful for collaborating with others and for managing individual projects, and a crucial component of reproducible research.Who: This workshop will teach version control using Git, a free and open source distributed version control system. The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers. You don’t need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.Where: Room 117, Building 501, Kent Street, Bentley.
