Goal

Introduce scientists and PhD students to a powerful toolset to enhance their research software workflow.

Content

A Software Carpentry workshop is conceptualized as a two-day event that covers the basic tools required for a reseach software workflow:

• The Shell as a foundation for the following tools
• Employing Git as version control system (VCS)
