Collaboration and Tracking Workflows with Git and GitHub

This repository houses materials related to the Git Workshop offered at the GC Digital Research Institute in June 2016 taught by Jen Tang, Patrick Smyth, and Stephen Zweibel.

Workshop description:

"Learn what makes Github such a powerful tool for both collaborative and individual projects in this introductory workshop. We will provide a conceptual overview of Git and Github, learn the basics of how to get started, and explore practical applications of Github for writing and computational workflows. This workshop will be applicable for a wide range of digital undertakings, from developing code, to working with datasets, to drafting public policy, and beyond."

MASSIVE Thanks to Mary Catherine McKinniburgh, whose shoulders I am standing on to learn and run this workshop. And Patrick Smyth and Hannah Aizenmann who have been solid sources of knowledge and support.
