Integrating RStudio with a new or existing project on GitHub (CC120)

I love starting new projects! This will be the first episode of a small project and we'll start with getting set up and connecting RStudio directly to github to launch a new and existing project. Our new project will demo how to use machine learning tools to analyze microbiome data using the mikropml R package that has been developed by Pat's research group. We'll do the entire (hopefully!) proejct in RStudio to check out its tools for reproducible research.

What would you like to be sure I cover as we discuss using machine learning tools to analyze microbioe data?

I have been working my a** of to connect my new Mac to git and GitHub. Thank you so much. I couldn't believe how easy was it! You gained a new subscriber.

Just the perfect tutorial I needed!!
My first time cloning projects on github, and you made it so easy. Thank you so much!!!

This is going to be way beyond my very limited experience in bioinformatics, but Im looking forward to learning more!

Thanks a lot for this video very clear and straightforward. I'm asked to include a username and password rather than having it pushed straight away as in your video. After typing username and password, I get the error message "Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021." I have read that using SSA would overcome this issue, do you have a video that goes through it?
Thanks!

Thank you very much; the explanations are pretty straightforward.

Thanks for this tutorial. I followed all the steps but I could not see the files mirrored on github? I could not figure out why! Any suggestions?

[cristianmarcelovillegaslob]

Great video! Thanks a lot. It will be very useful in my life.

What would you suggest doing if I already had an existing R project that I was working with, that I want to tie to Git? Seems that the only options of "New Directory", "Existing Directory", and "Version Control" are useful if you want to create a new project, but I'm not looking to create a new project

[brittnyfreeman]

Was there any reason in particular that you selected .md as the file extensions for the README files?

[ehoumanevans]

Very interesting video. However, most of the time Push and Pull bottom are grey. Do you have a so easier video to master how to connect local git in Studio to git online. Thank you!

[tamararojas]

Thank you for your video! I have a question, Can I upload a chart created by r to github? (interactive chart)

Hi Pat, can you kindly share a video on ELASTIC net regression and BAYESIAN statistics with the regular glm. Does your training course include machine learning? Thanks

[kennedygolfhead]

Hi there. Thank you for providing an informative video. I am currently using R 4.3.2, which does not allow me to create an R script saved as .md. The command screen says, "You cannot save this document with extension '.md.' And the choice I have is "Use .R" and "Use both, " so the file name becomes "README.md.R." What does README.md files you created do? Can I skip these processes of creating README files? Thank you for being so helpful.

[birasafabrice]

good tutorial, but I was expecting to see how to connect existing project on my local machine to github. I have an existing project that I want to put on github. thanks!

[satire]

Thank you for an informative video, on the new project wizard after entering the repository URL when I enter to create a project it asks me for git user name and password when I enter it then shows an authentication fail. I checked many times username and password are correct. what could be the issue and how to resolve it? Thanks

[krishanakj]

What if your Git was not detected on the system path?

[markelov]

Can I ask how you detail in your IRB applications your use of GitHub, especially regarding raw data?
