Key Points

Introduction
  • The five recommendations make your code more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Use a publicly accessible repository with version control
  • Version control systems help to organize and collaborate on code.

  • Using a public repository contributes to the reproducibility, reusability and quality of your code.

Add a License
  • It is important to add an open-source license to make your code open.

  • There are several common licenses that have different permissiveness.

  • Under the surface it is more complicated, so take the recommended path.

Register your code in a community registry
