Git for the R User

The next steps assume that you’re familiar with GitHub, you’ve installed R + Git + the RStudio IDE, and you’ve connected RStudio to GitHub. Jenny Bryan’s Happy Git and GitHub for the useR is a great resource if you’re stuck on any of these topics.

Step 1: Clone Repo

We’ll start by forking this GitHub repo into your repository to allow you to experiment with my code without actually changing anything in the original project repo. To do this, navigate to my GitHub repo and click on the Fork button in the top-right of the repo. This will prompt you to “Create a new fork.” When you’re ready to create the new fork, simply hit the Create fork button on the bottom of the screen.

Assuming you kept the original repository name, you should see a newly created repo titled “example-company-community-site” in your GitHub repositories. It contains a full copy of all files and folders found in my original project repo.

Next, you’ll want to clone this repo to your local machine. Using the RStudio IDE, navigate to its menu bar and click on File -> New Project -> Version Control -> Git, copy/paste your repo’s clone URL, choose your local project directory path of choice, and click on Create Project.

RStudio IDE’s New Project Wizard will launch in a popup window after selecting New Project from the file menu. You should expect the following:

This process will create a local clone of all files and folders found on your remote GitHub repo.
