Module 3: Reproducibility with git and GitHub.comAI is powered by code--Python code, run in Jupyter Notebooks in our case. As a best practice, code should reside in a version control system. These systems allow collaboration, enforce good coding practices and foster collaboration and sharing. The most widely used version control system today is In addition to using This module uses GitHub for the content itself. To start the training, you need a free GitHub.com account.
