Abstract
GIT is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. The most widely used modern version control system provides a team of collaborators a platform to share and track the changes in source codes. This presentation introduces GIT, GitHub, and how they would help collaborators manage version control of their documents, starting with version control is and why you should use it, and introduces the most common steps in a common Git workflow. Github is the largest web-based git repository hosting service and it enables code collaboration with anyone online. Github also adds extra functionality on top of git. The presentation demonstrates how data scientists would benefit from GIT and Github.
