Get started with GitHub

Now that we’ve verified your Git/GitHub/RStudio setup, we can demo the workflows you’ll use to get your work onto GitHub:

• New project, GitHub first is the easiest way to get a working project.
• Existing project, GitHub first is a deeply pragmatic way to get pre-existing work onto GitHub.
• Existing project, GitHub last is the more proper way to connect existing local work to a remote on GitHub, especially if there’s already a Git history.

This part concludes with two R-specific workflows that show off how well R Markdown (the format) and rmarkdown (the package) work with GitHub:

• Test drive R Markdown
• Render an R script
