aggregate: meet, greet, learn, collaborate

Rescheduled to Tuesday, February 23rd

Please join us for the 38th R aggRegate meetup on Zoom! We welcome current or aspiring R users who have any level of experience with the R programming language.

Our goal is to exchange knowledge, learn new skills, help each other troubleshoot coding problems, and meet new fellow R users.

No topic is off limits, and you may attend even if you don’t feel that you have anything to share. Come learn with us!

Details: Jim Tyhurst will provide a short demonstration of the 10 git commands and associated GitHub workflows that are essential for you to collaborate on a project hosted on GitHub.com. Having seen this done once, you will be able to go back through any of the popular, free online Git tutorials to pick up the details.

If you frequently delete a local clone of a GitHub repository and clone the original again, because your local repository is hopelessly "broken" when you try to synchronize with your colleagues' changes ... This discussion is for you!

If you have lost work in the past, so now you do not trust Git to manage your revisions ... This discussion is for you!

If you have played with Git a little, but you do not know how to make a Pull Request to contribute to a collaborative project ... This discussion is for you! A Q&A session will follow

When: February 23rd, 2021 @ 6:30-8 PM

Where: Online: zoom info provided when you respond

Agenda:

• Jim Tyhurst will do a short demonstration of git commands.

• Brief intro/R project or problem: We'll take turns talking about an R project we're working on, a data/data-science problem, or something we want to learn, etc.

• Next, anyone can share some code they've been working on and want help with / want feedback on. Make sure to have this ready before the meeting.

• Before arriving, use the pdxrlang/aggregate GitHub repository to discuss ideas for things to work on at aggregate - https://github.com/pdxrlang/aggregate/issues

Please note that this event, like all PDX R events, adheres to the PDX R Code of Conduct: https://pdxrlang.com/code_of_conduct We are dedicated to a safe learning environment to all.
