A work in progress

Still from Heaven King video

What is already here:

• Instructions for Git/GitHub/R/RStudio set-up and early usage.
• Prompts for workshop activites.

What is coming:

• More on Git itself, though will mostly rely on rest of the internet for that. I want to add / borrow / link to visual explanations.
• Workflows and policies for individuals and groups.
  • How often should I commit? Which files should I commit?
  • Data files and the dilemmas they present.
  • Most common Git predicaments. How to avoid and recover.
  • Clone vs fork.
  • Purpose of branches, issues, pull requests, tags.
  • Add-as-collaborator vs “fork and pull”.
• Use of the GitHub API for bulk operations.
• Using GitHub to run a course.
  • Get an Organization.
  • Use of Teams, repos, issues, pushing content into repos.
