I just got the following error while trying to push an updated for my course project:
>>> C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe push origin HEAD:refs/heads/master To https://github.com/MmattC/CourseProject.git ! [rejected] HEAD -> master (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/MmattC/CourseProject.git' hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g. hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

Two questions:
In a project with a lot of commits, is there a way to easily spot which changes were made locally and which were made in GitHub?
Any thoughts/preferences on the GitHub desktop app vs. online interface? Pros and cons?

When I created the README.md file in my github-first project, I also had a .gitignore file and a .Rproject file show up in the Git window, so I committed all three and pushed to GitHub. Is this ok?

I work with extremely sensitive data that cannot be stored in Github for privacy reasons. What would be the best ways to ensure the data is never pushed to Github, only the scripts? Would I just never select the "Staged" checkbox for the dataset(s), or are there other settings or best practices to avoid pushing the data itself?
