Everyone in Biomedical Engineering will come into contact with coding and GitHub at some point. During the second semester of your first Master's year, the course Data Analytics assumes that you already have some experience working with these tools. Other courses may even award bonus points if you submit your assignments through GitHub, as it makes your work look more professional. And if you ever do an internship, thesis or (student) job involving coding, there is a very big chance you will need to push your code to your organisation's GitHub.

But what exactly is GitHub?

GitHub is an online platform where you can store, share and manage your code. It allows you to collaborate with others, work on the same projects and keep track of changes without losing previous versions. Think of it as a shared workspace for coding projects, where you can work together, organise your code and show off your work!

So, why not get started now?
