My other big recommendation is to remember that *git* and *GitHub* are very different skill sets. I know lots of people who are git wizards but don’t know how to do a pull request and don’t use issues. So train for both skills

What I mean by “not using issues” is the use of them as a project management tool, or a place to have discussions and get feedback. Most folks think of them only for bugs. I think you’re missing some functionality if you only use issues for bugs but that’s a lab decision :)

This is amazing, thanks
@kirstie_j. The number of notifications could be a big deal for us, so we will have to manage that. Also the advice about issues is great. Thanks so much!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

FWIW I code in private (often) & then publish the public repo. For various reasons, including to avoid confusion and to avoid including files that should not be there. Also why code in public anyway if you are new to coding? Can imagine it to be scary AF for newbies.

Also... In the same way you don't make your feedback to your mentees writing (imagine comments on their manuscript) public why make all coding public?

There is a lot of value in coding publicly of course too.

Yes, some privacy will be essential for us I suspect. Trying to get the research institution approval to have private repos now. Hopefully that way we don't have to pay for keeping work private.

At least the work in private is free for personal accounts, if you have the academic package.

Yeah it looks like you can apply for a similar thing for your institution, so hopefully I can get that going

Also gitlab is worth looking into as well.
