GitHub is Not Just for Coding: The Powerful Task Management Tool in Your Back Pocket

November 26, 2024
by Elena Stacy. This article introduces the use of GitHub as a task management tool for researchers in any field – even if your project doesn’t involve coding. GitHub is a free tool that many researchers already use in some capacity, and can be easily adapted specifically to task management to enable transparent project collaboration and documentation. We walk through the advantages of using GitHub for this purpose, and provide a comprehensive tutorial on how to get up and running with GitHub as a task management tool for your own projects.
