Additionally, review the responses of two of your peers, which you read over during Thursday’s discussion.

For your two questions, plus one question from each of the two peers you selected, (for a total of 4 questions), discuss the following:
In what ways can GitHub (or comprable cloud-based, version controlled, collaborative environments) help address the issues which the questions raise?
In addition, please respond to the following:
If you were asked to consult for a research project, how would you recommend the integration of GitHub into the workflow? Assume your collaborators have never used GitHub before. Be sure to also explain briefly how it works so they can understand.
