Version Control with Git - RStudio - 5.12.2023 - registration open

Submitted by Diana on

  • Time: 5.12.2023 11:00-16:00 
  • Type: Workshop
  • Language: English
  • Duration: 5h
  • Location: Delta building, Narva mnt 18 room 2005, Tartu
  • Audience: Everyone who needs versioning
  • Instructor: Priit Adler, PhD

Version control serves as the digital equivalent of a lab notebook. It is employed by professionals to monitor their progress and collaborate effectively. Its utility extends beyond software development; it can be used for books, papers, small datasets, or any evolving content that requires sharing.

Git is a globally adopted tool that helps developers manage changes in collaborative projects. Keeping a record of changes, complete with timestamps and explanations, becomes exceptionally valuable when returning to a project in the future, like a year later when recollection may be unclear.
 

Learning outcomes for the participants: 

  • Describe the importance of version control
  • Create a repository in Git
  • Track changes and collaborate in Git
  • Solve conflicts in Git

We ask you to register responsibly. If you can't attend the lecture, please let us know as soon as possible via email (elixir@ut.ee).
