Computational Physics Seminar
Software Version Control - Why and How
Presented by Dr. Darcy Barron (UNM)
I will give an overview of how to use version control in scientific research, and give some examples and workflows for how to use it effectively. Version control is a powerful way to keep the equivalent of a lab notebook for your computational work, and is also convenient for writing code and papers collaboratively.
I will cover version control more generally, but we will be specifically working with git, which should be straightforward to install on any system:
https://git-scm.com/
I will also show some examples using remote version control with Bitbucket, which is a free cloud host for git repositories:

Please contact the host for the zoom password if you would like to attend the seminar remotely.
