The goal of this git
crash course intro is to introduce you to tools for reproducible research (RR). To ensure RR, we need at least two components:
- the data (that has to be published upon manuscript acceptance by most journal standards)
- the code (yes how you ran your analysis!)
There are extra components (tools, version, providing these in containers), but let's focus on 2.
That book is a great resource. We only need to know a little to get started. In your own time, look at Chapter 1, section 1. to 4 and once you start using it Chapter 2 is all you need (99% of the time).
