Mike Croucher (@walkingrandomly<\/a>) is the director of research computing at the University of Leeds in the UK. For years he has kept his Walking Randomly blog<\/a> where he writes about technical computing of all kinds. In addition to the blog, he manages a GitHub repository filled with awesome MATLAB projects. It is called, fittingly, Awesome MATLAB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “awesome” pedigree on GitHub is actually quite extensive. I don’t know exactly where it began, but many years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was an Awesome PHP<\/a> list. This much-loved list was widely copied, leading at some point to an Awesome Machine Learning<\/a> list which inspired an Awesome R<\/a> list which inspired Mike to make an Awesome MATLAB<\/a> list. Thanks Mike! As Mike points out in his post, there is even a List of Lists Awesome ecosystem page<\/a>. Meta-Awesomeness, you might call it.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of “Best of” lists out there, but these GitHub-based lists are nice because they have the collaborative machinery of git to keep them up-to-date. If you want to submit an entry, fork the repo and send Mike a pull request!<\/p>\n

I should also mention that this is not the only such MATLAB repo on GitHub. You should also take a look at uhub’s\u00a0awesome-matlab<\/a>\u00a0repo with almost 1900 files.<\/p>\n

Increasingly we are seeing GitHub as the de facto standard for collaborative development. Back in 2014 we gave you the ability to list your MATLAB-related GitHub repos on the File Exchange<\/a>. The rate at which these repos are appearing has been accelerating, and we now have 1640 repos listed on the File Exchange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This includes many of the most popular files<\/a>, like export_fig<\/a>, MATLAB Schemer<\/a>, and MATLAB2TikZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re serious about collaborating on your MATLAB code, we encourage you to put your code on GitHub and then list it on the File Exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
