Image 1 of 1: ‘A figure showing manual versus GIT version control. On the left, we have one folder with a file named thesis_latest, a spreadsheet and one subfolder; on the right one folder with a file named thesis and a hidden folder called ".git". Below a screenshot of the spreadsheet on the left with some comments for each version saved in the subfolder; on the right a view of a Git software showing the same comments entered via Git, and a view of the difference added in one of the version.

Image 1 of 1: ‘An illustration of tidy data with three panels with three titles. Arrows are indicating the direction: vertical arrows for variables, as they should be indicated in columns, and horizontal arrows for observations , as they should be indicated in rows. In the third pannel, a circle is present on each cell to represent that there is one unique value per cell.’
An illustration of tidy data: variables are in
columns, observations in rows and there is one value per cell.

Image 1 of 1: ‘This image shows three boxes with materials on top. The main box in the middle has 'identifiers' written on it with three discs on top of it that are labelled 'data sets'. Both boxes by their side have journal articles on top of them. An arrow on the top of the image points to these images as being 'Digital Object Identifiers'. There is text at the bottom of the image which says 'Persistent', 'Unique', 'Trusted'.’

For computational projects, releasing your work in an open repository
has parallels with publications.
