ABSTRACT

We have come a long way since we first met Amira, Jun, and Sami in Section 0.2. Amira now has her scripts, datasets and reports organized, in version control, and on GitHub. Her work has already paid off: a colleague spotted a problem in an analysis step, that impacted five figures in one of her reports. Because Amira has embraced GitHub, the colleague could easily suggest a fix through a pull request. It took Amira some time to regenerate all of the affected figures, because she had to recall which code needed to be rerun. She recognized this as a great reason to embrace Make, and has added implementing it to her to-do list.
