This repository includes all of the content for the workshop entitled “Reproducible & Collaborative Coding with Git” to be presented at the 2022 LTER All Scientists’ Meeting. The live website can be found here.
This workshop will offer attendees an overview of the fundamentals of git (and one of its associated web user interfaces: GitHub) followed by a demonstration of a git-centric workflow in RStudio. Attendees will be provided with optional instructions on pre-workshop set-up for preparing their own laptops but the workshop is structured to maximize value without attendees taking those steps. Emphasis will be on broadly accessible, jargon-free communication and only a web browser and RStudio will be used (i.e., no “command line” / “shell” / “terminal” experience is necessary). After this workshop attendees will be able to (1) outline the fundamentals of the git workflow, (2) create a repository on GitHub, (3) clone that repository to their local machine using RStudio.
