###
### The purpose of this script in the Git Fundamentals workshop is to allow
### everyone to quickly get working with git in LESS THAN 5 MINUTES (!!!) and to
### provide a way to experiment with "real" collaborative workflows (between
### laptop and cloud).
###
### This simple script is meant to be used with Google Cloud Shell (GCS)
### It makes use of the Rocker project's RStudio Docker image:
###    https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned/blob/master/rstudio/README.md
### And allows using RStudio in a secure way ONLY accessible through the
### GCS Web Preview (not available for remote access directly!!!)
