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

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
-
Cool. There is no one correct way. Some projects like these beetle stimuli below on OSF: https://osf.io/skg2y/ — while other work belongs on OSF, multiple github repos, dropbox and on a custom website, like: http://redistrict.science . No reason to worry too much IMHO.

@vcheplygina - I haven’t seen specific guides about using GitHub issues & the project boards to coordinate projects (@o_guest - I think in this case projects as in papers etc) -@MozOpenLeaders has some good guidance https://mozilla.github.io/open-leadership-training-series/articles/github-for-collaboration/collaborative-workflow-for-contributions/ … -
Just my own personal preference (although others seem to like it too as it compiles it for you and avoids storing many PDFs which kill your repo d/l speed): If you are writing papers in LaTeX I find using
@overleaf (which does git too) is better IMHO than github. -
But the free version doesn't have syncing / version control right? Im using sharelatex now but they are merging with overleaf
-
That's correct. Overleaf has merged with ShareLateX. We've just started rolling out the new beta. Here's some info on v2! https://www.overleaf.com/blog/641-try-out-overleaf-v2#.Wuyav9MvzR0 …

Wow! Thank you!

-
Awesome!
-
Trying it out on the repo I do like to see on their online editor [my CV] and it looks so pretty — nice work!
