Use of version control during the course

• During the course it is required to use your GitHub account.
• Assignments must be uploaded to your GitHub repo, which needs to be shared with @regulyagoston.
• You may use Shell/Terminal, GitHub Desktop (or other application), or can use RStudio as well to commit and push/pull to your repo.
  • You may check out the guide for Help for GitHub and RStudio.

RMarkdown

• RMarkdown is a powerful tool, provided in RStudio, which helps to create reports rigorously, automatize reports, create an Html, etc.
• During this course and Data Analysis 2 some of the assignments will be required as an output from RMarkdown.
• However, in many cases it is not easy to get started with RMarkdown and knit your first document especially in pdf format as it is likely to give an error.
  • You may check out the guidance on Help to knit my document in RMarkdown.
