Talk Abstract
In this third seminar related to the use of the Middle-Earth cluster, we focus on the use of version control to collaborate and to keep track of changes in code and documents. The main focus is on the use of git, through our local GitLab instance, but the same principles apply with other services (such as Github) and other version control systems. We start with an introduction to version control, go through the process of setting up an account and a project repository, and work through the typical day to day interaction with the version control system. We conclude by looking at how to deal with some less frequent situations.

This is a talk from the Data Science Platform Seminar Series.
