First steps on Git using R-Studio and Github

During this workshop we will introduce the concept of version control using Git, RStudio and GiHub. We will learn the basic Git commands and how to use them directly from R-Studio. I will show how to link your R-Projects with GitHub to create online repositories to share your work and how it can be used for collaboration. At the end I will do a short demo on uploading a small WebPage to Github such as the one from R-Ladies Seattle

If you have some time to prepare before the Meetup I would recommend you to:

· create a GitHub account (if you do not have one yet) on https://github.com/

· download and install Git from https://git-scm.com/

For the last part of the meetup some very basic knowledge or markdown/Rmarkdown in recommended, but not mandatory, we will also go through it. If you want, you can have a look to the first 35 minutes of this video about RMarkdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H91WSwALx1A
