Join us for our weekly series of short talks: nf-core/bytesize.

Just 15 minutes + questions, we focus on topics about using and developing nf-core pipelines. These are recorded and made available at https://nf-co.re , helping to build an archive of training material. Got an idea for a talk? Let us know on the #bytesize Slack channel!

In this week’s bytesize, Rob Syme (@robsyme) introduces how the concepts that make Git so helpful might also be used to improve provenance tracking and collaboration when working with Nextflow workflows. Data and metadata are handled elegantly inside of Nextflow workflows, but sensibly handling metadata on the filesystem can be a challenge. Is there a way we can move away from using paths like /data/do-not-delete/RELECOV/samples/SAMD00818643/NextSeq 550/202116335/paired/214115_S151_R1_001.fastq.gz.1?
