Title: Oops, Git! How to recover from common mistakes
Date: Thursday, March 19th, 14:00 – 16:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Maëlle Salmon, with a PhD in statistics, is a Research Software Engineer and blogger. At rOpenSci, she maintains the guide rOpenSci Packages: Development, Maintenance, and Peer Review, and has developed the babeldown and babelquarto packages for multilingual documents. At cynkra, she contributes to igraph and other packages. Maëlle is also the co-author of the book HTTP testing in R with Scott Chamberlain and created the R-hub blog. Additionally, she regularly contracts with various organizations, including research institutions, for R package development.
Description: Git is very useful. But it can also be scary when we make a mistake. Fortunately, with experience we make fewer mistakes… and/or we know better how to recover from them! In this hands-on workshop, we will learn how to get out of seven possible bad situations that can occur, with seven exercises inspired by the “Oh Shit, Git!” website https://ohshitgit.com/ and provided by the R package {saperlipopette}. https://docs.ropensci.org/saperlipopette/index.html By the end of this workshop, we’ll feel more capable of dealing with Git and our own fallibility.
This workshop is aimed at people who already have some experience using version control, although you don’t need to be an expert. It’s ideal for those who want to strengthen their confidence and autonomy in difficult situations.
