Michelle Wang HW1

[MichelleWang32]

I was away from the lab session so I was quite confused at the very beginning of how to pull a repository from Github and work on RStudio and “export” it back there. The step-by-step instructions on the syllabus were very helpful and here’s a youtube how-to video that also helped me a lot [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxZ8J2rqhEM&list=PLThQDx_upEsShKbmg1MU2LQaqynt4zNVN]

I first forked and cloned the README.md repository. (Details: After forking it from Github, I cloned the link and opened RStudio: File > New Project > Version Control > Git and pasted my URL link). I created a folder and saved all the repositories in a set location. While editing the README.md with R Markdown, I was exploring different Markdown elements to create a short biography, I saved all my changes and committed several times along the way. The cheatsheet for R Markdown was also very useful [https://www.rstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/rmarkdown-cheatsheet-2.0.pdf].

One difficulty I ran into is that some picture files couldn’t open as a picture, you can only click on it and then see the picture. I tested it a couple of times and it seems that we would first need a .jpg format url link and then command ! [photo] right before the picture link to show it directly (instead of a link). Finally, I saved all the changes, committed to the HTML file, pulled and pushed them up to Github.

First attempt at programming, yay

Remarks:

• For the header of the assignment, you probably could have removed the "hw01" header and subsequent lines with the assignment details. If you would like to include these, they could probably go in your pull request title/notes.
• For the last picture, you could embed it inline. That is:

Above code produces this:

• You don't need to commit the html or .Rproj file. For the .Rproj file, you could avoid committing this using a .gitignore.
• Otherwise, you effectively used five of the five style elements, italics, headers, links, list, and image. Good job.
• Nice inclusion of an external profile link. I'll send you an invite on LinkedIn.
• Proved you can do the workflow.
