Workshop Content

This workshop is conceptualized as a two-day event that covers the basic tools required for a research software workflow:

• Working with a command-line interface (Shell) as a foundation for the following tools
• Employing Git as version control system (VCS) for managing code development workflows
• Introduction to the Python programming language

Preparations

Participants are asked to make sure they have the necessary rights to install software on their computers.

Installing the Required Tools

For this workshop three tools are required:

• A Unix-compatible command-line interface (Shell for short)
• The git tool
• An installation of python
