How to Use GitHub For Data Science Research

Using GitHub for data science research is not quite mainstream just yet for the data science industry, but it is growing in popularity in the field. From our point of view, there is a good reason for that growth. Data science has been a siloed field of research, but as technology continues to develop so does data science. It is now more common to see teams of data scientists all working towards similar goals rather than a single data scientist sifting through data on their own and pushing it forward to a team of developers or engineers. In this guide, we will explain how data science and GitHub are a perfect match, but also the "why" behind using GitHub at all for data science.
