git through April: GitHub GUI and RStudio

Join us over lunch @ noon for 4 hands-on workshops using version control with git and GitHub.

This week

GitHub graphical user interface (GUI) and RStudio with Kim Dill-McFarland, Isabella Velasquez

Content

Avoid (most of) the command line hassle and use git/GitHub through a GUI or RStudio, including making repositories, tracking files, reviewing versions, and moving to/from GitHub. Some content is based on the Carpentries 'Version control with git' (http://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/)
