I was inspired by @kirstie_j to let my students use Github for their thesis projects, and now I'm watching one of them planning and creating tasks there in real time and it's beautiful #proudpipic.twitter.com/mblNhTMpto

Yes I know this one and it's been helpful for Github in general! But I meant more how to organize a project, what should be done where (issues, wiki etc) does that make sense?
-
That's very project-dependent. What kind of project, LaTeX?
-
The code in python and the report in latex. The contributors are basically me (for some initial code/templates) and the student
-
This is for bsc/msc thesis projects

I would store these in two (at least) separate repos. Saving the many compiled PDFs on github will be a pain and they will wreak havoc on your repo's d/l speed and are technically not what git is for (no binary files ideally).
-
I was planning to have only one pdf or add it to .gitignore. but I do use online latex editors myself so maybe that's what I should teach :)
-
Up to you! I do keep my writing and my coding (even if for the same project) separate though. I even keep code for the same project separate from other code for the same project. Submodules on github are useful in the right context!

None of my stuff is really on Github yet but I'm finding that wanting to teach students how to do things properly is speeding up the transition
