To work on GitHub you will need a supported web browser (current versions of Chrome, Firefox or Safari, or Internet Explorer version 9 or above). GitKraken Client is a powerful and elegant multiplatform graphical interface for Git developed as an alternative to working with Git from the command line.

Getting a GitHub account Basic GitHub accounts are free. Please consider what personal information you’d like to reveal. For example, you may want to review these instructions for keeping your email address private provided at GitHub. Tip I personally prefer to use a non-institutional email for registering accounts to platforms I want smooth access to regardless of affiliation. However, there are advantages associated with affiliation with an academic institution on GitHub, namely that you get a free developer (PRO) account. The most important benefit of that is that it gives you unlimited public AND private repositories. You can however add your academic email as a secondary email which will allow you to benefit from this academic research discount. You can also just use your academic address from the start and just change it once you move on. Find out more about claiming an academic discount. https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/setup/gitkraken/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/setup/gitkraken/index.html Install GitKraken Client To install GitKraken Client download the correct binary for your system. Link to GitKraken downloads Then follow the installation instructions provided on their website. Note In the installation instructions you’ll see that you do not actually need to install Git separately to use GitKraken Client as it ships it’s own Git framework, NodeGit, which is primarily developed and maintained by members of the GitKraken development team. https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/setup/optional/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/setup/optional/index.html Git If you wish to install Git and use it outside of GitKraken, for example at the command line, please refer to the official installation instructions. R During the collaborative exercise, we will collate materials from each participant which will feed into an R analysis. If you would like to run this analysis yourself locally, you will need to have R and Rstudio installed. This however is optional and not a requirement for you to complete the workshop.
