About the workshop

While Git is a fantastic tool for version control of software, written content and other collections of small files, it can become unmanageable for large, multi-GB data files. Over the years several different Git extensions that reduce the impact of large files in your Git repository were developed, e.g. git-annex and Git LSF. DataLad builds on this history and is a modern implementation of a free and open-source data management system that supports versioning, collaboration, distributed storage and analysis. In this workshop we will teach you the basics of installing and using DataLad on your computer.
