page. If you are working on your own forked version of the course, you can choose ‘Commit directly to the gh-pages
branch’. The other option (‘Create a new branch’) is used for a work flow with Pull Requests, which is our preferred way of receiving collaborative contributions.Data Carpentry for Biologists is an open source project, and we welcome contributions of all kinds: new and improved lessons, bug reports, and small fixes to existing material are all useful. Course materials are managed on GitHub to facilitate collaboration on developing this kind of material for university courses. The central component of a flipped computing course is the exercises, so one of the primary forms of contribution we expect will be adding exercises to the existing set. Individual instructors can then select from a rich pool of exercises the set that best fit the topics, languages, and scientific domains they want to cover in the course.
There are lots of great resources for being introduced to the individual
concepts being taught in courses like this. Our philosophy is to use and improve
these external resources when available instead of creating new versions of the
same content. In particularly we actively use
Data Carpentry and
Software Carpentry workshop
materials. However, in cases where the necessary material doesn’t exist
elsewhere it can certainly be added to materials/
