title: "Datalad \u2014 An Introduction to Research Data Management"
description: "The goal of this book is to teach universal research data management\
\ skills that require nothing but a standard computer and free software, yet scale\
\ from working with a few tables up to wrangling terabytes on high performance computing\
\ systems.\nThis book approaches research data management with a hands-on, code-along\
\ tutorial style. It focuses on practical aspects and getting things done, with\
\ demos that are easy to follow and DIY-ready. Nevertheless, relevant technical\
\ concepts are explained, when necessary, in small excursions, and by insightful\
\ trial-and-error explorations.\nThe content is centered around the data management\
\ solution DataLad. This free software is an multitool for managing digital information\
\ and its use, regardless of data type, size, location, volatility or origin. It\
\ provides functionality to share, retrieve, and version control data in a distributed\
\ fashion, and it aids managing the evolution of \"FAIR\" digital objects.\nThis\
\ book is made from essential parts of the DataLad Handbook project, a rich online\
\ resource, built collaboratively by more than 50 contributors and visited thousands\
\ of times every day.\nYou are invited to fire up your computer's terminal and follow\
\ along, but you do not need to be a programmer, computer scientist, or Linux crack.\
\ If you have never touched your computer\u2019s command line before, you will be\
\ fine. No prior knowledge about DataLad and its underlying software foundations,\
\ Git and git-annex, is required.\nIn short, this book equips students, researchers,\
\ and any data wrangler with essentials skills needed for today's digital data workflows,\
\ and for building reproducible and reusable data projects."
