These qualities relate to and build on the [Open Source Definition](https://opensource.org/osd).

[GitHub](www.github.com) is a popular tool that allows version control: management and overall tracking of changes in a particular piece of software. Services such as [GitHub](www.github.com), [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/), [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/), and others provide an interface to the tool as well as remote storage services that can be used to maintain, share, and collaborate on research software. As a tool it is quite widespread and, although it has an initial learning curve, it has proven invaluable to establishing an open and reproducible research workflow.

Having the research software on GitHub is just the first part; it is equally important to have a published and persistent identifier associated with it, such as a DOI. There are several ways of associating a DOI with a GitHub repository; the easiest one is to employ [Zenodo](www.https://zenodo.org/) \(a free, open catch-all repository created by [OpenAIRE](https://www.openaire.eu/) and [CERN](https://home.cern/)\) to do the assignment, although other repositories for archiving software and obtaining a DOI do exist, such as [Figshare](https://figshare.com/). [Zenodo integrates with GitHub](https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/) to archive the software and provide a DOI when developers make a formal release on GitHub.
