ICES provides four GitHub areas to facilitate scientific collaboration in marine research:
-
Expert Groups
https://github.com/ices-eg -
Tools under development
https://github.com/ices-tools-dev -
Tools maintained by ICES
https://github.com/ices-tools-prod -
Transparent Assessment Framework
https://github.com/ices-taf
The code in these repositories can be browsed and downloaded. To apply for write access to specific repositories, please send an email to github@ices.dk.
The distinction between tools-prod and tools-dev is that github.com/ices-tools-prod contains software that is operational and maintained by the ICES Secretariat, while github.com/ices-tools-dev contains everything else (operational software maintained by scientists outside the Secretariat, experimental projects, etc.)
The main guidelines for working in the ICES GitHub areas are:
-
Users should provide their full name in their GitHub profile (https://github.com/settings/profile).
-
Repositories should be kept under 1 GB and should mainly contain code and configuration files. Large datasets, images, and documents are better stored elsewhere.
-
Expert Group chairs may recommend a certain GitHub workflow for that group.
