Researchers who write code to achieve their research goals are commonly having an issue with regards to where to publish it, does it go in the data repository, or does it get published on a code sharing site?

Zenodo and GitHub have solved this by integrating their services with each other. This means that researchers can properly manage their code with versioning and history enabled through Git tools. And with Zenodo they can create Digital Object Identifier (DOI) links for versions of the code at specific points in the software development process.
