GitHub presence#
A GitHub organization is a shared account where all organization members can collaborate across many projects at once. NSAPH has five organizations on GitHub meant to help you find and use group resources:
NSAPH Projects - Host a GitHub repository for all NSAPH-led member projects; moving forward, all NSAPH member-led projects should have a repository here;
NSAPH - Can be leveraged to read NSAPH members’ private codebases; no new projects should be started here;
NSAPH Software - The development of reusable software packages for analysis;
NSAPH Data Platform - Captures all the code that went into creating and maintaining the data platform;
NSAPH Data Processing - Captures the data pipelines for data transformations and aggregation;
NSAPH - Gathers past projects but will continue to be used for miscellaneous projects that don’t belong in the previous categories.
