Expert Talk – Track Everything: Version Control for Code, Data, and Writing

by Dr. Andrej Berg, Data Steward, JGU

This is a hybrid event.

This session introduces version control as a core practice for managing code, data, and writing in a structured and reproducible way. It covers the fundamental concepts of Git, including tracking changes, branching, and collaborative workflows.

The focus is on practical approaches that integrate version control into everyday research, supporting transparency, traceability, and efficient collaboration across projects.

The talk provides a clear entry point into version control workflows and supports participants in applying these concepts directly in their own work.
