You need to version control your software in a publicly accessible repository.
How?
- The first step is picking a suitable repository. Some popular options include GitHub and GitLab.
- If you aren’t sure, or you are looking for more options, you can check out AlternativeTo - version control to find more version control systems.
Examples
Here, we provide two examples of version controlled workflows:
- Galaxy workflow from the Intergalactic Workflows Commission (IWC):
COVID-19: variation analysis on ARTIC PE data(Maier, 2022), and - Nextflow workflow:
SAMBA: Standardized and Automated MetaBarcoding Analyses workflow(Cormier et al., 2021).
