ABSTRACT
Version control is essential for keeping track of data analysis projects, as well as collaborating. It allows backup of scripts and collaboration on complex projects. RStudio works really well with Git, an open source distributed version control system, and GitHub, a web-based Git repository hosting service.
This chapter includes step by step instructions and screenshots on getting started with git within RStudio, and how to push your repository to GitHub as well as how to clone an existing repository.
