This repository contains the version-controlled implementation of the HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) ReproSchema, converted from REDCap data dictionaries, using the redcap2reproschema tool
For each REDCap data dictionary version, we did the following
- Removal of Previous Elements
All existing protocols, activities, and items from the previous version were deleted to ensure a clean starting point for the new version. This step was critical to clearly document which elements were removed between versions
- Convert to reproschema format
Install the tool reproschema-py
git clone https://github.com/ReproNim/reproschema-py.git
cd reproschema-py
pip install -e .
Convert the data dictionary
reproschema redcap2reproschema [hbcd-redcap-data-dictionary.csv] [redcap2rs.ymal]
- Git add and commit
Add and commit the newly converted reproschema. For example:
git add .
git commit -m "converted hbcd redcap data dictionary 20230706 to reproschema"
- Version tagging
After committing the changes, each version was tagged to mark the release point in the repository's history. For example:
git tag -a 2023.07.06 -m "redcap data dictionary 20230706 to reproschema"
- Git push
Push the current tag to remote
# push the tag
git push origin <tag_name>
# push the content to main
git push
# if there is a conflict, you can use --force
git push -f
