Software Carpentry aims to teach basic software skills and best practices to researchers in biology who wish to analyse data. The goal is to enable them to be more productive and make their science better and more reproducible.

- Introduction to the Bash shell
- Version control with Git and GitLab
The course is designed to continue in the following two mornings with an introduction to Python, but you are free to register to the two parts separately depending on your previous knowledge and need.
