Using Git[Hub/Lab] as a Social Science dev forum

[MarkBruns]

Products like GitKraken or GitLens https://bit.ly/3LLb7st ... or, for that matter, GitAsAService services like GitHub or GitLab ... really do add value in addition to Git, ie there are very good reasons why productivity-minded professionals pay for the value delivered.

However, participation in an open science community should be product-agnostic ... there should be an easy, quick path to forking repositories to get to a standalone distrubuted version control system like open source Git ... and using Git features like Git Patch

Things like GitHub Collections or AWESOME repositories of curated annotated bibliographies can be very useful backgrounder precursors to more specific documentation necessary for explaining a specific product/library [like PlasmaPy] created by the open source community.
