Research Computing Starter Pack

Research Computing Starter Pack#

This collection of workshops provides an introduction to the concepts, workflows, and tools fundamental to reproducible computational research. The workshops are:

  • Reproducibility Principles and Practices (one 1-hour session)

  • Introduction to the Command Line (one 2-hour session)

  • Installing Software with Pixi (one 2-hour session)

  • Introduction to Version Control (one 2-hour session)

  • Git for Teams (one 2-hour session)

No prior programming experience is required for this workshop series, assuming you complete the series in order.

Open-source tools are an integral part of many research projects. Contributing to these projects ensures they continue to be sustainable, and releasing research-related code under open-source licenses ensures computational research is reproducible. These workshops are part of the University of California Open Source Program Office Network and their development was funded in part by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
