for first time users of the Lab github (how to use github, folder and data organization)

Purpose

Github was established as a for all code and programming knowledge sharing within the lab which includes:

• repository for data associated with publications
• code to update the PTM masterlist
• code to format records and send to BOLD
• lesson material for learning dplyr and ggplot

What is git/github?

• Git is the version control software that keeps track of the changes you make to documents (kind of like track changes in Word but less cumbersome)
• Github is the site you can host your version controlled material (think a more powerful and flexible version of Google Drive)
• request to be added to the lab github to start contributing!

Using the Lab Github

• it is not for unpublished data
• everything is public on this account, for private repositories please use personal accounts then share with the Lab account when the publication is public
• Feel free to download - fork over repositories and play around with the material

Useful files in this repo

• github.rmd for setting up your computer for git/github
• repository organization for a guide on how to make a new repository in the Lab
