From Push to Publish: Preserving GitHub Projects with Zenodo
GitHub is a fantastic tool for version control and collaboration during the active phases of a project, but it is not designed for permanent archiving. For long-term preservation and accessibility, deposit your work in a repository like Zenodo, which assigns a digital object identifier (DOI), allowing your project to be reliably cited in the years to come. Thanks to GitHub’s integration with Zenodo, creating an archived snapshot is quick and easy.
