How to set up git for a bioinformatics project: using version control with git and GitHub (CC014)

In this screencast tutorial, Pat Schloss shows how you can incorporate version control into your projects using git and GitHub. Version control will make documentation, collaboration, open science, and backing up our project easier. This episode is part of a series where Pat is trying to determine to what degree inter- and intra-genomic variation limit the interpretation of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs; aka exact sequence variants or ESVs). You'll learn about GitHub and git commands including config, init, status, add, commit, push, and pull. You'll also see the difference between a local and remote repository. Pat demonstrates these concepts by live coding at the command line interface using RStudio, GitHub Flow, and make. He then turns viewers loose to work through several activities to answer related questions and finishes by giving his solutions.
