Git

Of course a section on Git! Relates to version control and requires some explanation of how it works (branching) and where to start.

Note: Won't talk about subversion elsewhere because (a) it is centralized and hence (b) has less functionality for individual researchers.

• Version control

I know two nice entry level interactive courses:

• GitHub recently published quite some materials, e.g. courses and videos, on GitHub Lab. I think they did a great job overall, especially videos are very well-produced and friendly for beginners.
• The Try Git is pretty nice too.

Besides resources, do you want to have some introductory notes as well? How do you see this?

@amirmasoudabdol thanks, those make great further reading! For the setup of the onboarding module, see the contribution guidelines. In short: an intro to what git is, why it's useful, how-to start.
