Lecture Question - Code Along #8

Open meliapetersen opened 4 years ago

meliapetersen commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'm a little behind on the lecture video so I am just getting to this issue, but I am going through the code along in the github desktop and I am a little confused.

In the code along you reference a data csv file that is supposed to be in the raw folder that we then create a new csv to reference. When I look at the master folder on github that original data folder is not in here. Did I miss a step where we download/create the data csv? Is there something I'm not getting?

I made it to the low income viz part of the lecture but now I don't have the data file in my repository.

Thank you!

@meliapetersen great point apologies for the confusion. The data isn't on Github to demonstrate how to hide files on GitHub while allowing them to exist locally on your machine. Once you have data larger than 100MB, data won't fit on GitHub.

To retrieve the CSV file, you'll need to run the lines of code in the R/data/raw/01_import_raw_data.R script.
