Instructions
If you have not already, create a folder for our course repository,
clone the repository on to your computer, and configure your git
workspace using the commands below.
# On the Terminal / Command Prompt
cd [path to repository] # replace "[path to repository]" with the directory path
git clone https://github.com/spatial-data-discovery/spatial-data-discovery.github.io.git
cd spatial-data-discovery.github.io # change into the repository directory
git config user.name [username] # replace "[username]" with your GitHub user name
git config user.email [email] # replace "[email]" with the email associated with GitHub
If this is your first time writing in Markdown, practice some basic
features (e.g., headings, lists, links, images, and emphasis) in an
online environment, such as StackEdit.io.
When you are ready to write your \"About\" page:
Find the \"about_dtwoods.Rmd\" file located in the course\'s
repository parent directory, which you have cloned to your computer.
Copy it and rename it using your github name (i.e.,
\"about_YOURGITHUBNAME.Rmd\"); please, only use lower-case letters.
Open your file using a text editor of your choice and delete
everything below the YAML header (the set of \"---\" lines at the
top of the file).
Update your name and date in the YAML header.
Add an image you would like to associate with your bio.
Use a definition list, ordered/unordered list, and a text emphasis
format somewhere in your file.

git add [your .Rmd file] # replace "[your .Rmd file]" with your file name
