Why reproducibility matters

Every analysis should run identically on a colleagueโ€™s machine. Two tools make this practical: version control and containers.

# Build a frozen analysis environment
docker build -t analysis:2026.09 .

# Run the pipeline on a fresh machine
docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/data \
  -v $(pwd)/results:/results \
  analysis:2026.09 run --config config.yaml

Pin every dependency and tag every container image.

Versioning data

Large datasets canโ€™t live in Git. Track hashes and use dedicated data storage.

Lockfiles

Always commit lockfiles so dependency resolution is deterministic.

Final check

A reproducible analysis runs in one command with zero manual steps.
