How to use this organization
What is a repository?
- it typically stores and tracks files related to a project (code, documents)
- documents should be text files; binaries like excel sheets can be stored, but they are not meant for version control
- data: you should carefully consider whether it makes sense to add data to your repository; problematic are large datasets and privacy-sensitive data
What you can do as a member:
- you can create repositories for which you have admin rights
- use meaningful names so that your repository can be found easily
- add a README.md file that describes your project
- you can invite collaborators and assign your repo to a team
Using teams:
- if you want to create a team, contact one of the administrators
- teams should be used to indicate which part of the organization the repo belongs to, e.g. Research Intelligence
- all repositories you create are still linked to UBVU; teams are a way to categorize your projects
