Hi there [@DCoP\_Innovators](https://rcop.michaeljfox.org/groups/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 Paula ---

Hi, Paula! I am no expert myself but I really like this tutorial /It. is in Spanish, so sorry to other people who speaks other languages) I’ll try to find some in English as well [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/michaeljfox/original/1X/7bec811c8e1b787681f9e4c6301b7830588ff79a.jpeg "CDSB2022: Control de versiones con GitHub y RStudio") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv08zmyzKVE) ---

Github has some documentation [on their website](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started). For using github and R/RStudio together, there’s the [Happy Git](https://happygitwithr.com/) tutorial. For other code, VSCodium is an IDE that works well with Git. Here’s the official tutorial [on how to get started](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_23KUAEtUM&themeRefresh=1). ---

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](https://github.com/mkmiecik14/mmh) OSF project: [https://osf.io/27ky9/](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.](https://github.com/mkmiecik14/fractal-rmts) I hope this helps!
