README for penn-cnt members and collaborators

The CNT uses the penn-cnt github organization to share publication-related code as well as internal tools and pipelines.

We use teams to organize members and repositories by lab. As a team member, you can associate repositories with your team, automatically add all team members as collaborators, and create subteams.

1. There are two ways to add a repo:

• Create a new repository from the home page of the organization
• Transfer ownership of an existing repository under Settings > Options of the repo that you own. You will still have admin privilages on the repository, but penn-cnt will become the owner (Note: the url for your repository will also change after the transfer).

2. Associate your repo with your lab team and/or subteam
3. Add relevant topic keywords (e.g. "publication", "internal tool", "toolbox") to your repository by clicking the gear in the "About" section on the main page of your repo.

• At the minimum, penn-cnt should be used for publication-related code, but labs/teams can decide their own use cases.
• Remember that you can use the public/private visibility option for repos that aren't yet ready for primetime
• External collaborators are welcome! Your repositories will function just as if they were under your ownership, so collaboration settings and privacy settings are still under your jurisdiction
