Motivation:

1. GitHub is important if you want to work as a researcher or a data scientist/analyst
   
2. Coming from a pharmaceutical background, I had a hard time understanding GitHub
   
3. This webpage was created as an attempt to help/encourage beginners without prior exposure to GitHub and Git to grasp the fundamental concepts under two hours (It took me a few week learning these thing on my own)
   

Overview

1. You can post your awesome homeworks or scientific researchs on GitHub to share with everyone
   
2. You can collaborate with others via GitHub
3. You will always have a clear history of who did what on your project
