R project & GitHub set-up / best practices #17

Closed wendtke closed 4 years ago

wendtke commented 4 years ago

@SmogDr, would you like students to submit homework via Canvas or GitHub? Brooke had us email her links to the GitHub files. Early in the semester, we emailed her Word documents (swirl instructions) or R Markdown files knitted to PDF.

Do you think the students will be set up in and using GitHub in time for the first homework submission?

Add GitHub information in Chapter 1

Day Zero Happy Git

wendtke commented 4 years ago

Weeks 1-2

  1. Install R/RStudio; OS-specific installations like Xcode on Mac
  2. Create GitHub repo (private; add @SmogDr and @wendtke as collaborators) with these instructions. Optional lecture on git/GitHub background.
  3. Create MECH481A6.Rproj with this directory structure.
  4. Confirm git/GitHub connection to/from R project.

**a comprehensive R developer set-up, if students are interested in developing and sharing R packages eventually

We want GitHub submissions but do all students have their own computers? @SmogDr to inquire

wendtke commented 4 years ago

The PR related to this issue will also address #14 (best practices for R project and git/GitHub) and #16 (private GitHub repository for each student).

wendtke commented 4 years ago

@SmogDr - do you want to create a GitHub organization with the students' private repos, or just have students host their own on their individual profiles? See here for more info.

wendtke commented 4 years ago

@SmogDr - see https://twitter.com/tiana_athriel/status/1292962508173533184?s=21

Do you envision going through installation together in class, or should I include screenshots in this PR?

SmogDr commented 4 years ago

I think we will do it in class but I would include the screenshots, too.

@SmogDr - not sure if this GH ping got lost in the last day. What do you think of the above question?

SmogDr commented 4 years ago

I’m new to GitHub organizations but if we can do it with the each student’s repository being private then why not?
