GitHub serves as a platform for hosting code, facilitating version control, and enabling collaborative work. It empowers you and your team to collaborate on projects seamlessly, regardless of your physical location. To begin using Git and GitHub, a series of essential steps must be followed to set up and initialize the Git environment:
6.1 Register a GitHub account
This can be done at the GitHub website where you can sign up for an account for free. While you can use your USAID email, you might want to consider using a personal email to maintain access to your work should you leave USAID. Once that is created, you will need to be added to the “USAID-OHA-SI” organization and appropriate teams, which will be further outlined in [insert chapter name]__.
6.2 Install or upgrade R and RStudio
Assuming that you’ve installed R and R Studio as outlined ___, it is best to make sure that your installation is upgraded to the most current version. This ensures that you have all of the latest functionality and resources.
To make sure your R installation is current, you can check in the “Console”:
# Check version of R-studio
#Rstudio.Version()
#rstudioapi::getVersion()
