Welcome to our collaborative bioinformatics machine learning project! The structure of this project is a work-in-progress, so please reach out to us if you think we should be doing something differently.
We will be storing our code in this GitHub repository as it gives us a nice tool to:
- Organize and keep track of code for each project we're working on through GitHub's 'Issues' and 'Projects'
- Formally review eachother's code through 'Pull Requests'
- Easily access eachother's code for referencing, testing and debugging
As a plus, having a basic understanding of Git & source control goes a long way in a professional development job!
To install git, there's a few options depending on your system.

If you installed it successfully, you should be able to run the following command error-free in your terminal:
git --version
Next, clone this repository. To do so, navigate to your desired folder on your machine, then run:
git clone https://github.com/DeadlineWasYesterday/ML
You may need to enter your GitHub credentials.
Next, change into the repository directory:
cd ML
and make your own branch. Try to give it a descriptive name if you can, starting with your name or username:
git checkout -b myname/my-machine-learning-project (e.g. evan/simple-regression-project)
Now you're on your own branch, start coding! We'll have a more formal folder structure when we get started.
Here's a fun interactive way to learn basic Git commands:
