<p>Having a new student join me to work in the lab reminded me that I
should collect some of the many resources around for getting started
in bioinformatics and any data-based science in general. So towards
this end, one of the first essential tools for any data scientist is a
knowledge of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)">git</a>.</p>
<p>Start first with
<a href="https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1">Code School's simple introduction to git</a>
which gives you the basics of using git from the command line.</p>
<p>Then, check out
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5-da3qGB5IBLMp7LtN8Nc3Efd4hJq0kD">set of lectures on Git and GitHub</a>
which goes into setting up git and using it with github. This is a set
of lectures which was used in a Data Science course.</p>
<p>Finally, I'd check out
<a href="https://help.github.com/articles/good-resources-for-learning-git-and-github/">the set of resources on github</a>
for even more information, and then learn to love the
<a href="https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git.html">git manpages</a>.</p>
