The Use of Git in Statistical Programming

Project Scope

What features are most beneficial to stat programming? What are the benefits of Git?

There is interest across the pharmaceutical industry in using Git for statistical programming. Some companies have already incorporated Git, or are attempting to, and there are common challenges being faced. The introduction of Git has increased the complexity of a statistical programmer’s tasks, which has led to challenges in uptake and in taking advantage of the benefits Git offers. The purpose of this Working Group project is to provide the industry with tools and guidance for addressing and overcoming this common challenge.
