Do you have a pile of scientific Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks that are becoming unwieldy? Are changes to some parts of your code accidentally breaking other parts of your code? Do you want to present them in a more maintainable, reusable, and shareable form?
This tutorial aims to help scientists who write code find good practices and standard tools, and to help small- and medium-sized scientific software projects start off on the right foot.
Keeping in mind that too much software infrastructure can be overwhelming to those who haven’t yet encountered the need for it, we introduce only the core essentials in this opinionated tutorial. From there, we recommend looking through the section on principles. As your project grows you may find some good use for the more specific and advanced topics covered in the guides.
