Preface

This documentation is at an early stage of development. It includes guidance on using version control for data analysis at Sheffield City Council. In particular, it provides suggestions and requirements on how the data being analysed is handled by version control.

If you’re reading this from the PDF version you can view the online version here:

If you’re reading this from the online version you can view the PDF version via the small Adobe Acrobat icon next to the title in index pane on the left, or by using this URL:
scc-pi.github.io/version-control/Version-Control-for-Data-Analysis.pdf.

How this guidance is published is detailed in the repository README.md:
github.com/scc-pi/version-control#readme

The expectation is that this book, its repository, along with most repositories in scc-pi GitHub organisation, will move to Azure DevOps within the Council’s secure Azure Tenant. Establishing the Council Azure DevOps for data analysis is currently on hold whilst a new data platform is established.
