Introduction to Programming in R Part 3: The Tidyverse and Version Control
Introduction to Programming in R Part 3: The Tidyverse and Version Control In-Person
If you want to start leveraging the R packages ecosystem while keeping track of how you do it, this workshop is for you! Using the same dataset from Parts 1 & 2 of this series, learn how to transform and "tidy" your data using the Tidyverse and other useful packages, and extend your code management skills by learning to collaborate effectively using GitHub for version control. This workshop is part of the Advancing Reproducible Computational Skills (ARCS) workshop series.
In this workshop you will learn to:
- Understand how to subset data effectively
- Execute complex data transformations using dplyr (filter, select, mutate, summarize, group_by)
- Initialize git repositories and commit project changes
- Understand version control and collaboration methods using GitHub
