In his blog post, Jason Adams highlights the importance of using Git for research in academic settings, where code management often faces unique challenges. Unlike typical software development, academic projects prioritize exploring possibilities over code quality, leading to code that is frequently makeshift and difficult to replicate. This can be problematic when attempting to recreate previous experiments, especially if the original code was organized in a way that only made sense to the initial developer, often a graduate student. Despite these difficulties, incorporating software engineering practices such as version control can significantly improve project manageability. Adams argues that Git, a powerful version control system, is an essential tool for academic projects because it facilitates better organization and tracking of code changes, making it easier to manage and reproduce research work.
