Introduction to Version Control with Git

Details of the event:

• Dates: 25th of June 2025
• Times: 09:30 - 16:30
• Location: Eindhoven University of Technology (Exact location to be announced)
• Organizer: 4TU.ResearchData

This workshop will take place on 25th June, 2025 at Eindhoven University of Technology. It will focus on version control using Git based on the Carpentry training material. The last part of the day will be about the 4TU.ResearchData repository system.

Workshop goals:

Our main goal is to provide basic skills in versioning control to enable 4TU.ResearchData community members to work more efficiently and reproducibly with their software. We will exemplify the main version control concepts with a simple Python script. However, the script execution is not crucial for the scope of this workshop.

Requirements:

Previous knowledge of Python is ideal for this workshop but not required. Previous knowledge of using the Unix shell to navigate the filesystem and create files and directories is highly recommended, since we are going to teach Git from the Unix shell terminal.
