SSI Seminars: Autumn 2025

Have you ever found yourself drowning in countless “final” versions of your code, unsure which one actually produced the results you’re analysing?  Or perhaps you’ve come across Git and felt like you’re just going through the motions of using it without seeing much benefit. You’re not alone. Version management can be a major drain on the scarce time and energy of a researcher.  

Thankfully, when used effectively, Git can ease this burden, while boosting your productivity and research reproducibility.  

This series of 15-minute talks offers practical, research-focused guidance on how to use Git. Rather than just teaching the commands, it explores the workflows that make them meaningful – so you’ll not only understand what to do, but also why and how. In addition, you’ll learn how to leverage the Git history to better understand codebases, streamline debugging and make your coding life easier as you tackle science’s toughest problems.   

Join us every Tuesday from 14th of October to the 11th of November. Refreshments are provided after each talk. Come for the knowledge, stay for the snacks!
