Transcript

This week, your task is to get your project up on GitHub. I lay out details in the video below, but I want to highlight a few things:

If your project assignment isn't already in a separate project, please make one. Using one RStudio project for each unique project you work on will set you up for success. Jenny Bryan lays this out nicely :

I suggest organizing each data analysis into a project: a folder on your computer that holds all the files relevant to that particular piece of work.Jenny Bryan, Project-Oriented Workflow

Once you have your project set up, make it a local git repository using the use_git() function from the usethis package.

Next, push your local project to GitHub using the use_github() function. Feel free to make your project private if you would prefer (I demonstrate this in the video).

Then, once you have your project up on GitHub, go to settings > manage access and add me (my GitHub username is dgkeyes) and Charlie (GitHub username charliejhadley) as collaborators.

Finally, one thing that isn't in the video: Please add the URL of your repository below and submit the form below (also let us know if you have any specific questions in that section of the form). For me in my video below that would have been https://github.com/dgkeyes/dk-rin3-fall-project. Submitting this form is how we know you have completed this week's project assignment and sets us up to provide feedback (if necessary).

Have any questions? Put them below and we will help you out!

I'm curious about why the library(usethis) is run from the console window and not with the other library packages (i.e. tidyverse,etc.)? Is it only necessary to run it once or is it something that needs to be loaded every time the project is restarted?
