Play area for all KempaLab members - have a look around and make yourself familiar with git, github and RStudio. Don't be afraid - there is hardly a way to break anything.
Use this repository and experiment online using the web browser or RStudio. My suggestion - start with the little tasks below.
- Add your name to this document in the section KempaLab member peeps - just works a short confirmation that you've received the invitation to the KempaLab organisation.
- Clone this repository to your computer with RStudio.
- use the green button, copy the link, new Rproject with version control
- Create a new folder (name - e.g. Guidos_playground) inside this local repository.
- Add a file of your choice (e.g., some R code, a R markdown file)
- Create a commit (
git status,git add,git commit -m "message") - Push your commit upstream, meaning to the remote repository with
git push -u origin master
There is no need to create a new branch for this task, we just keep it simple here. The same holds true for the content of the file. If you are not sure what to do - Create a new R markdown file and change the content of the template file. Take your time to play with markdown syntax.
Check online if your folder and file appeared in the repo
Check for any updates of the repository with git pull. Check what did change in your local repository.
The following summaries are very helpful to take a glimpse on R markdown, git and other famous R packages. Feel free to add further useful slides or posts.
Great git sheet with the most important commands to get started
