Increasingly the code used by researchers to generate data and analysis for publications is being shared publicly. GitHub is a web based server that allows users to version control and share their code using online repositories. Public facing repositories can be accessed either via the web browser or from the command line using Git, which is installed on Physics machines and easily downloadable and installed on your laptop.

Examples of how GitHub is used within our group include:

- Maintaining consistent and up-to-date versions of code across international collaborations

- Easily updating and transferring code between local and remote machines

- Increasing the research profile of members, beyond publishing
