Welcome to Software Carpentry
This is a meta repository to help navigate the numerous repositories and lessons of the Software Carpentry community on GitHub.
What is Software Carpentry
Software Carpentry is a community of volunteer instructors who teach short workshops and develop lessons which empower researchers of all disciplines to learn about and improve the ways in which they create software and collaborate.
Code of Conduct
We are an open and inviting community with an actively enforced Code of Conduct. We value the involvement of everyone in this community - learners, instructors, hosts, developers, steering committee members and staff. We are committed to creating a friendly and respectful place for learning, teaching and contributing. All participants in our events and communications are expected to show respect and courtesy to others.

Run a workshop
For a fee, we can help you bring a Software Carpentry workshop to your organization. This fee supports the ongoing work of our community to train instructors in all disciplines and as a community support and develop the lessons that are needed to improve researcher's skills and practices with regard to software and data.
Get your organization to become a member
Our member organizations are organizations that are committed to supporting our organization so that they can have local instructors trained annually. Members also take an active role in helping to direct and support the sustainment and growth of the community.
Get involved
You can get involved with our community
by subscribing to our newsletter joining our
mailing lists or coming to one
of our community events/meetings. Want to contribute to the lessons themselves, a list of our open GitHub issues is a good place to start and each of our lessons has a CONTRIBUTING.md (example from shell-novice) that details how and what contributions are welcome. We use etherpads to manage much of our work and communications, we have an etherpad of etherpads to help you find things you're looking for.
Lesson template
We maintain a set of CSS and Jekyll scaffolding that can be used to help organize and create lessons in our style (swcarpentry/styles). Instructions for how to contribute are in swcarpentry/lesson-example.
Infrastructure project
We run a bunch of workshops every year, to coordinate all of our workshop activities we have been developing an open source tool called AMY. AMY is a Django application that helps us to manage our volunteer network and track when and where we will and have run workshops. It is an essential part of our day-to-day operations and is itself an open source project that welcomes contributions.

Experimental Lessons
These lessons were created as part of a contract to deliver advanced material. They've been taught a few times, but could benefit from some care and attention from the community. If you're interested in engaging with these lessons, please contact Jonah Duckles
