You can use Git within RStudio to download the course materials. If you haven't cloned the repository before, follow these instructions:
- Click on the green "Clone or Download" on Github and copy the link.
- Open RStudio, and go to File > New Project > Version Control > Git, and paste in the link you just copied. Under "Create Project as Subdirectory of", browse and select a folder where you want the course materials to go.
- Press "Create Project". This will create a folder called
BST209-2022
in the folder you selected in step 2. - Now, you can open this project using the projects tab in the upper
right of RStudio, or going to File > Open Project and then navigating
to the BST209-2022 folder and opening the
.Rproj
file.
If you already cloned the repository outside of RStudio (e.g. using Git Bash), you can associate the directory that was created in that step with RStudio. In RStudio, go to File > New Project > Existing Directory, and then navigate / click on the BST209-2022 folder. Then click "Create Project". Then you can follow step 4 above to open the project when you launch RStudio. You can read more about RStudio projects here: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200526207-Using-Projects
Once you cloned the course repository and want to get updates, you must
use git pull
to get updates.
In RStudio, if you followed the instructions above, simply navigate
to the Git tab and press the Pull button. In terminal / Git bash, use
cd
to navigate to the BST209-2022
folder, then run git pull
.
If you wish to take notes and write in the course materials, you can
save a copy of the file you want to take notes on with the filename
containing personal
. For example, if you want to take notes on the
file 00-motivation.Rmd
, save it as 00-motivation_personal.Rmd
. Then,
you can edit the 00-motivation_personal.Rmd
file. We have configured
Git to ignore any files that contain personal
in the filename, so any changes you make won't show up in Git. This will
allow you to update the course repo without any issues.
