This session will focus on leveraging the version control system, Git, and the largest hosted service for Git users, GitHub, with common tools used by SDP Fellows Python, R, RStudio, Stata, and SQL. After the presentations and demonstrations, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their experiences and practices. Also, this session will prepare you to “Git” ready for OpenSDP.
Feel free to keep track of the work we are doing to prepare and see how we are leveraging this tool to develop our session by viewing the repository at :

We also just posted our pre-work. We piloted the pre-work with one of the session participants and anticipate it taking 10-20 minutes tops. Although it isn't that difficult, you should do this before heading to convening since it includes installing Git and you may need to get permissions from your IT shop to install the software. You can find instructions and annotated screenshots for the prework here:
