## About this repo
This repository was made for slides to introduce Git and Github prepared for a workshop of graduate students at the _Harvard Psychology Department Methods Dinner_ .

- Jump to the compiled slides in [handout mode](https://github.com/kuriwaki/github-demo/blob/master/presentation-slides/kuriwaki_github_handout.pdf) for printing, or in [presentation mode](https://github.com/kuriwaki/github-demo/blob/master/presentation-slides/kuriwaki_github.pdf) (in the presentation-slides folder).
- There's not writeup (yet), so the slides are on the wordier side. 
- Any suggestions are very much appreciated.



## About the tutorial

- Text: https://happygitwithr.com/
- Variety of Git: Use Github via the Rstudio project
- Purpose: Introduce core concepts and git and facilitate getting started for your own work (collaborative work could come later).
     - A bit more of a pitch / lecture than a workshop, because actual tasks can be really varied
     - also: self-learning is useful, and Jenny Bryan's book is great for step-by-step following (in R)
