Version Control: GIT with R

Learn how to use GIT (version control software) to manage your R scripts and other collaborative coding projects.

WHO is this for?

• If you are new to GIT & are short-budgeted on time!
• If you'd like to start using version control w/o learning all the command line details first!!
• If you've ever wished there was a way to "track changes" or collaborate on a single script just like you can for google docs.

• If any of this is true, this workshop might be for you!
