Once you have an experiment ready that you'd like to run in the lab, it's best to put it under version control.

Create a git repo on your local computer.

cd /path/to/my/experiment
git init .
git add .
git commit -m "First version of the experiment"

Create a git repo on GitHub.

Go to GitHub.com
Click the "+" to create a new repository.
Set the owner to "lupyanlab" and give it a name.

Note: Don't check the box for Initializing the repo with a README if you already created the repo on your local computer.

Point your local git repo to the GitHub endpoint

git remote add origin https://github.com/lupyanlab/name-of-my-repo.git
git push -u origin master

Install the experiment on the lab computers.

cd ~/Dropbox/LupyanExps
git clone https://github.com/lupyanlab/name-of-my-repo.git
