Lab protocols

• protocols can be in markdown or txt format.

Using lab protocols

• To download a single protocol from the repo :
  • open terminal/console on your computer
  • type "wget" followed by the URL of the protocol
  • example: wget https://github.com/meisenlab/wetlab/blob/master/testprotocol.md
• To quickly print a markdown file (or save it as a PDF):
  • use a chrome extension (I like this one)

Standardized File names

• Please name all files with no spaces
• underscores can be substituted
• with a four word max description of the protocol
• no capitals
