 IQSS is pleased to have set up a GitHub Organization that allows its entire academic research community to create ***free*** public and private repositories. Typically, only public repositories and students' private repositories are free. If you are an IQSS-affiliated scholar and are currently paying for a private GitHub repository related to your research, let us help you switch to a free one.

###  About GitHub

 GitHub is a tool that allows collections of files, typically computer code files, to be stored together in a repository that maintains versions of the files and controls who can access them. Private repositories are used to share code that is intended to be kept private among a small working group, perhaps during its formative stage if later intended to be shared in a public repository as open source code. With a Github repository, you can integrate numerous other software development tools.
