Developing academic software is a complex process. This workshop (which is in Beta version as a Software Carpentry lesson) teaches the basics of managing project development and release, using the project management tools on the repository hosting site GitHub (and is applicable to repositories hosted on GitLab). It follows on from Version Control in Git.

Go to lesson

Software Carpentry workshops focus on three core software skills: Unix shell, version control with Git, and a programming language (Python or R). Curricula are available in English and Spanish.  Software Carpentry is one of three arms in The Carpentries (see also Data Carpentry and Library Carpentry).
