project before publishing it or submitting it alongside a publication.
This includes 
* Documentation
* Open source licensing 
* Software citations 
* Archiving and more… 

Practical exercises using either a demo project or your own will teach you
to apply the presented strategies.

## Prerequesits

Basic Git skills are required.
A good and quick tutorial can be found in the 
[Software Carpentry's "Git Novice" episodes 1 to 9](https://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/).
Participants need to bring their own laptop with the project set up,
plus the Git command line or a graphical client, and a modern web browser.
