1 year ago Hi Barry,
I'm glad you find this resource helpful! The lesson is in Alpha, meaning it has mostly been used by its developers so far. It would be great if you could try it and give us feedback.
The lesson is based on the genomics shell lesson, with the data files and exercises swapped out to more relevant examples. https://datacarpentry.org/shell-economics/ We found it is suitable for an economics audience at all levels, because not many students have an experience with the Unix command line.
Contrary to the genomics lesson, which uses a server, we use individual laptops, with Terminal on Mac and Ubuntu, and Git Bash on Windows. This creates some inconsistencies across the three platforms, but they are small and can be discussed as you go along.
There are a number of open issues. I will teach this in January and hope to solve some of them by then.

Hi, I would like to run this lesson (or a version of it) for PhD students in my School. How is best to go about this? I have done the carpentries training, but have not yet completed my full registration.
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks
