GitHub and R

I've been to a workshop preceding a meetup where the basics of how GitHub can be conveniently used with R Studio was the topic.

One benefit: I finally got my hands a little dirty with creating GitHub issues (although to date I tried to avoid that ... partly because I only ever had public repositories and possibly I didn't want to share every everything, especially not exemplary beginner's mistakes :) ).

Another one: Being reminded of continuous integration. One day I'm sure it'll come useful. The only problem with it is it didn't fit into the workshop, but here are the related slides for that one day:

And, say, the third: Catching sight of the "git" tab in the R Studio GUI, once that's sufficiently enabled for the project. Again, one fine day ...
