  Current paper reports the advantages of the application of GitHub and LaTeX
for the MSc thesis writing. The existing code-based program implemented in
GitHub portal provides a great tool for scientists and students for data
sharing and notification of the co-workers, tutors and supervisors involved in
research about actual updates. It enables to connect collaborators to share
around current results, release datasets and updates and more. Using standard
command-line interface GitHub allows registered users to push repositories on
the website. The availability of both public and private repositories enables
to share current data updates with target audience: e.g. unpublished research
work only for co-authors or supervisors, or vice versa. Therefore, there is a
need in academic centres and universities to strongly popularize and increase
the use of GitHub for student works. The case study is given on the graduate
study: an MSc work written and maintained using open source GitHub service at
the University of Twente, Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth
Observation (Netherlands). It reports my successful experience of writing MSc
thesis based on the effective combination of LaTeX and GitHub.
