GitHub Platform

Hi there @DCoP_Innovators !!! I was wondering, anyone with experience in GitHub?
Maybe it would be interesting, if some of the most experienced ones in GitHub could share some tips and experiences for uploading a code and making it publicly available when publishing an article.
If there is no expert, then I would have to study, to have this as my next month post.
See you on friday

Github has some documentation on their website.

For using github and R/RStudio together, there’s the Happy Git tutorial.

For other code, VSCodium is an IDE that works well with Git. Here’s the official tutorial on how to get started.

Yes, there are many online documents/videos for learning github. I always forget and go online to learn it again.

If you would like an example, here is a past project of mine where I used GitHub to store my analysis code, and I connected this repository to an Open Science Framework project that hosted data and documentation. I personally find that separating the code and the data is more straightforward when working with git/GitHub.

GitHub repo: GitHub - mkmiecik14/mmh: Code for data processing and analysis of the Multimodal Hypersensitivity project
OSF project: https://osf.io/27ky9/

Here another repo of mine where I hosted some small data files and code for experiments in a paper: GitHub - mkmiecik14/fractal-rmts: Contains MATLAB code, E-Prime 2.0 files, and stimulus images for the Kmiecik, Perez, & Krawczyk (2021) relational match-to-sample tasks.

I hope this helps!
