Workshop Git GitLab Carpentries By DKZ.2R
Registration Closed

A workshop offered in collaboration with the Graduate center of Bonn University.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to get started using git to control files on their devices, connecting their local repositories with a remote website, and working collaboratively with other participants. All content will be demonstrated with live-coding, and supported with independent exercises.

We will cover the following Topics (selection):

  • Setting up Git on your device
  • Creating a repository to version control your documents
  • Tracking changes and getting used to the git workflow
  • Exploring history and ignoring files
  • Connecting to a remote repository (GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg/etc.)
  • Collaborating with others in a remote repository.

Workshop material is available online and will be presented by instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions throughout the event. The Workshop is open to all early career researchers from all domains.

No prior knowledge of Git is necessary. To participate in the course please bring your own laptop. Workshop material is available online (Link to Workshop Material) and will be presented by instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions throughout the event.

FDM-Werkstatt - Into the RDM-Toolbox!

FDM-Werkstatt - Into the RDM-Toolbox!

The Center of Data Litercacy (German: “Zentrum für Datenkompetenz”) DKZ.2R was officially launched mid November 2023. Already a month later we joined forces with fdm.nrw to organise the very first DKZ.2R-event (find the call for participation here). The “FDM-Werkstatt – Into the RDM-Toolbox” took place from March 18 to 20, 2024 at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. In total, 50 participants from all over Germany took part in the workshops. Many of them brought their own topics of interest with them and presented it in one of the 12 sessions. The contents of the sessions ranged from low-level introductions and RDM-basics to elaborate and in-detail coding sessions. For three days we worked together, discussed use cases and new RDM tools. But we also enjoyed the social program such as a tour of the AiX Cave and the server room of the ITC’s High Performance Computing Center. There was a good balance between cognitively demanding workshop sessions and more relaxing social events and lunch breaks which hopefully resulted in an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all participants. On the very last day of the workshop we offered a session to especially discuss ideas and directions for the DKZ.2R. The feedback we got in this session will help us in moving forward with the DKZ.2R and making a lasting impact for future researchers.
