git and GitHub tutorial

For our lab on git/GitHub, follow the instructions and links below:

  1. Read chapter 1: why git? why GitHub?

  2. Follow steps on chapter 6: install git (especially if you use windows)

  3. After installing, follow steps on chapter 7: introduce yourself to git. I recommend you use the usethis package as proposed in the tutorial (instead of going through terminal/command line)

  4. After setting up git, follow steps on chapter 9: Personal access token for HTTPS. This will likely be where most issues would potentially happen. Be patient, take a deep breath, ask for help, repeat.

  5. Follow instructions on chapter 11: connect to GitHub

  6. Follow instructions on chapter 12: connect RStudio to git and GitHub
