+* Getting information about your Git repository
+When taking notes, it may be difficult to remember which version of
+the code or of a file was used. This is what version control is useful
+for. Here are a few useful commands that we typically insert at the
+top of our notebooks in shell cells
+
+#+begin_src shell :results output :exports both
+git log -1
+#+end_src
+
+#+RESULTS:
+: commit 741b0088af5b40588493c23c46d6bab5d0adeb33
+: Author: Arnaud Legrand <arnaud.legrand@imag.fr>

+:     Fix a few typos and provide information on jupyter-git plugins.

+#+begin_src shell :results output :exports both
+git status
+#+end_src

+#+RESULTS:
+#+begin_example
+On branch master
+Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 4 commits.
+  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
+
+Changes not staged for commit:
+  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+
+	modified:   resources.org
+
+Untracked files:
+  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
+
+	../../module2/ressources/replicable_article/IEEEtran.bst
+	../../module2/ressources/replicable_article/IEEEtran.cls

+	../../module2/ressources/replicable_article/figure.pdf
+	../../module2/ressources/replicable_article/logo.png
+	.#resources.org
+
+no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
+#+end_example
+
+Then, I often include commands at the end of my notebook indicating
+how to commit the results (adding the new files, committing with a
+clear message and pushing). E.g.,
+
+#+begin_src shell :results output :exports both
+git add resources.org;
+git commit -m "Completing the section on getting Git information"
+git push
+#+end_src
