Open Science with R

This repository generates the corresponding lesson website from The Carpentries repertoire of lessons.

This lesson teaches modern R scripting using the tidyverse collection of packages, version control and collaboration using git and GitHub. Altogether, this provides a foundation for a more Open Science by offering practical ways of analysing data and building workflows and figures in a transparent and efficient manner.
