"Collaborative Coding with GitHub" Workshop (Version 2.0)

In synthesis science, collaboration on code products is often integral to the productivity of the group. However, learning to use the software and graphical user interfaces that support this kind of teamwork can be a significant hurdle for teams that are already experts in their subject areas. This workshop is aimed at helping participants gain an understanding of the fundamental purpose and functioning of "version control"" systems–specifically GitHub–to help teams code collaboratively more effectively and confidently. Changes from the preceding version include: Added Zenodo DOI and full workshop citation to README and homepage of workshop Clarified GitHub 'by itself' versus 'with an IDE' and made minor edits to both original topics in service of making this distinction clear Tweaked sidebar to make a new 'background' section to house the workflows module and some of the Git-specific background that previously was the start of what is now called the 'GitHub by itself' module Overhauled all IDE-related tutorials to use new, more clear images and explanatory text for both RStudio and Positron
