The EFDC Repo Template is a public GitHub template that makes it easier for researchers to share their code, with the README structure, U-M copyright and license notices, citation metadata, and standard file headers already written and correctly placed. Create a repository from it, fill in the project details, and you have code that is documented, properly licensed, and ready to be cited.

This article explores the importance of sharing code, addresses common reservations among researchers, and provides practical advice on how to share effectively. By increasing transparency and releasing code as open source, researchers not only meet the requirements of funding agencies and publications but also stimulate institutional, national, and global research progress.
