Open Science, Floor 9 - 903
Welcome to our #Mozfest2016 session! 🎉
This practical session is designed for R users and aims to set beginners in version control up with some basic skills in using github through Rstudio to manage projects and collaborate online.
- Shout outs and twitter polls.
- get to know github (25 mins)
- github as a computational research tool
- Version control with github and rstudio (40 mins)
-
In this session, we are going to get you started with using version control from within RStudio.
-
The material is self-paced and includes a worked-example. It is suggested that you work through the sections in order.
- Collaborative github through rstudio #EvoLottery (40 mins)
-
Beak and skull shapes in birds of prey (“raptors”) are strongly coupled and largely controlled by size.
-
In this exercise, each participant will fork a github repo, and contribute a file required to simulate the evolutionary trajectory of an imaginary species' body size.
-
We'll collate all species files and plot them all up together at the end!
-
We'll also discover the skull and beak shapes associated with each simulated species size.
Follow the links to the materials for each section. All steps required are detailed.
