There are four terms associated with Git that you must learn: repository, commit, push, and pull. Now that you have successfully installed everything, lets run through a quick example. Restart RStudio and that is all there is to it! There are some simple guidelines at the RStudio website, which may be helpful.
GITBOX DROPBOX INSTALL
This may be located in any number of places depending on your operating system, but the location of your GIT install is a good first place to look. It is important that you find your git.exe file (as shown above). Open up the bash version of Git and type the following: git config –global user.name “your GitHub account name” git config –global user.email Open Rstudio and set the path to Git executable. I have found this step necessary both times I ran through this process.
GITBOX DROPBOX HOW TO
Still not convinced? I suggest you google ‘ why should I use version control?’īelow, I show how to use GitHub with Rstudio and also show that it is equally easy to use GitHub with any simple file of code.
GITBOX DROPBOX CODE
GitHub, which seamlessly integrates with Git, allows you to 1.) keep copies of all of your code through time, 2.) compare code from various points in time (very useful for debugging), 3.) collaborate with people on the same project in a non-chaos inducing fashion, and 4.) keep copies of your code both locally and online (note that you should still officially back up all of your work). GitHub allows you to push your code from your local workspace to be hosted online. Git isn’t the only version control system out there (e.g., SVN), but it is one of the more popular implementations. Git is a version control system and allows you to save copies of your code throughout the entire developmental process. You may be thinking to yourself (well, at least, I was guilty of this) that all of your code is backed up on Dropbox, Google Drive, and three external hardrives – so what could possibly go wrong? The short answer is: lots! The longer answer is that there really are some tremendous advantages associated with using Git and GitHub that may not be immediately apparent. Or you may find it confusing and not worth the bother. A few of you out there may still be skeptical about the benefits of using GitHub. I loved it and I would like to share with you…Ī few weeks back, the Molecular Ecologist released an article about GitHub and also created an organization where you can fork or simply download code shared by the Molecular Ecology community. This was an amazing post from molecular ecologist blog.
