Git for Scientists is an Open Educational Resource: a hands-on, four-hour workshop that teaches researchers the foundations of Git and GitHub for collaboration in scientific work. The instructor handbook documents the pedagogy, setup, and run of show so that an educator who was not in the room can teach the workshop from checklists.

Each workshop iteration runs in its own GitHub organisation, generated from the templates in gitforsci-dev.
