About this repo

This repository was made for slides to introduce Git and Github prepared for a workshop of graduate students at the Harvard Psychology Department Methods Dinner .

  • Jump to the compiled slides in handout mode for printing, or in presentation mode (in the presentation-slides folder).
  • There’s not writeup (yet), so the slides are on the wordier side.
  • Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

About the tutorial

  • Text: https://happygitwithr.com/
  • Variety of Git: Use Github via the Rstudio project
  • Purpose: Introduce core concepts and git and facilitate getting started for your own work (collaborative work could come later).
    • A bit more of a pitch / lecture than a workshop, because actual tasks can be really varied
    • also: self-learning is useful, and Jenny Bryan’s book is great for step-by-step following (in R)
