TRR379 RDM tools

Tools

These tools provide their functionality via several subcommands. They are fully documented in the tool itself. Run with --help, or <subcommand> --help to learn about the provided functionality.

bif_aachen

Utility for interacting with the TRR379 RDM system at the brain imaging facility (BIF) in Aachen.

This tool can be used without a dedicated installation step. Using uv, it can be executed directly from the TRR379 hub. To run the latest version, execute:

uv run https://hub.trr379.de/q02/rdmtools/raw/branch/main/trr379_rdmtools/bif_aachen.py

ni_mannheim

Utility for interacting with the TRR379 RDM system at the neuroimaging unit in Mannheim.

This tool can be used without a dedicated installation step. Using uv, it can be executed directly from the TRR379 hub. To run the latest version, execute:

uv run https://hub.trr379.de/q02/rdmtools/raw/branch/main/trr379_rdmtools/ni_mannheim.py

Recommendations

Some operations make frequent requests to the TRR379 hub. It is infeasible to run them without credential caching -- in particular with enabled two-factor authentication. It is therefore recommended to:

• set up an access token at https://hub.trr379.de/user/settings/applications (with repository read/write permissions, including private repositories)

• enable credential caching for a user account via running:

  git config --global credential.helper cache
  git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
  

  This configures credentials to be cached for maximum one hour.
