Welcome to the data_analysis wiki!

This is a set of Matlab tools for loading an analyzing 2D-IR and 3D-IR data.

What's the idea?

The idea behind git and github is to allow online collaboration in software development. For this set of tools, for example, everyone who wants to participate gets their own copy of the matlab files and functions to do whatever they want with them and to them. If you want to be completely independent, then you may. If you make useful changes -- add new functionality or fix a bug -- and want to share them, then everyone else can benefit from those changes, too. Doing this manually generally creates chaos. Git and github are tools designed to automate and manage the merging of changes so that everyone can benefit from the work of everyone else with a minimal amount of hassle.

Installation

1. Install git (Mac, Windows, or linux)

2. set up an account at github

3. clone this git repository to your github account

4. clone your github account to your local computer

5. hack away!

What then?

• remember to check for changes other people have made ? how do you pull changes from one github repo to another ?

  git fetch git merge origin/master

• when you have made changes that are worth sharing send a "pull request" and describe what you've done so everyone else can profit from your good ideas
