 4. Allow you to test new scripts or code before updating a public version in a 'sandbox' area of the repository
 5. Help share our data, code, and results with the world!

+It's not just for reproducible code that sharing things on places like GitHub can be useful!
+
+You can use (well-archived) Git repositories to 'get around' publisher limits when it comes to things such as supplementary files in publications!
+
+For example, in addition to code and scripts, I have previously used a GitHub repository to host additional supplementary figures, methods descriptions, and tables.
+You can see this here: [https://github.com/jfy133/Hominid_Calculus_Microbiome_Evolution](https://github.com/jfy133/Hominid_Calculus_Microbiome_Evolution).
+
+Furthermore, by including and describing them alongside with my code, it makes it much easier (and searchable) for other researchers to find out exactly how I did things!
+
+The important thing is to archive the repository on places like Zenodo ([https://zenodo.org/](https://zenodo.org/)), to ensure longevity alongside the publication, and cite the archive DOI in your main manuscript. The corresponding Zenodo DOI for the repository above is: [https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.3740492](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.3740492).
