Tan Ho | Project Immortality: Using GitHub To Make Your Work Live Forever | Posit (2022)

If you've invested a lot of time and energy on a data science project, you might be ready to move on to new and exciting things. Don't let your old projects wither away and die! There are some powerful and free resources from GitHub that you can leverage to help pay it forward to the next person looking to use your work.

This will help your projects more useful - now and long after you've stopped working on the project!
