NW-PaGe has developed policies, practices, and guides for how our Center develops and shares code via public Github repositories. This guidance covers:

  1. Security and how we protect against credential and private processes leaks.
  2. Licensing to protect against re-sale or theft of code.
  3. Our internal rules, policies, and templates for using git repositories.
  4. Our practices for improving code reproducibility.

For a nicer user experience, we recommend browsing this guidance on the webpage. However, if you cannot access the URL due to regulatory restrictions, we also provide a compiled PDF for download.

Policies and guidance should be living documents. As we learn and adapt, we will adjust our guidance. And of course, please feel free to contribute your thoughts and experiences as well to help us improve.
