Git and Gitlab: Introduction

Git is the state-of-the-art version control system, taking away the pain of managing many, continuously changing, files. GitLab allows you to save these files to the cloud, giving you a place to collaborate, share and backup your work. Put these two amazing tools together and you have a convincing workflow of how you manage your data.

This course is aimed to beginners, researchers and students alike. Each part of the course consists of a lecture part, followed by exercises where you can move at your own pace.
