TeachingMaterial

This repository is an aggregator for various R, make and git/github teaching material. Most of the courses are taught at the University of Cambridge, UK, and some have been adapted and exported outside. We would also like to acknowledge contributions from Aleksandra Pawlik, Software Sustainability Institute, Raphael Gottardo, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Karl Broman, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Each material subdirectory has its own repository; TeachingMaterial aggregates a snapshot as a central entry point. Aggregation is done using git-subtree (see the administration page for details). The local copies linking to external repositories are prefixed with an underscore.

Unless otherwise stated, all material is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License. This means you are free to copy, distribute and transmit the work, adapt it to your needs as long as you cite its origin and, if you do redistribute it, do so under the same license.
