Welcome to the QCBS R Workshops wiki!

In this section, we explain how you can contribute to the QCBS R workshops.

Getting started

Install package and clone repo

This Rmarkdown presentations are created using xaringan, so the first step in to install the R package xaringan.

if(!require(devtools)) install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('yihui/xaringan')

Secondly, you need to create a local copy on your computer of the Workshops repository. To do so, you can clone the GitHub repository on your computer using the command line:

git clone https://github.com/QCBSRworkshops/Workshops.git

Workflow

1. Once you cloned the Workshops repository, you should be on the dev branch;

2. Create a new branch (choose a name that reflects what you are adding, we suggest something explicit like workshop3_intro if you want to edit the introduction of workshop 3): git branch workshop3_intro;

3. Switch branch: git checkout workshop3_intro; Note that you can create and switch branch with a single line of command: git checkout -b workshop3_intro

4. Do your changes!

5. Once you are done with your changes on your branch, add and commit : git add -A+ `git commit -m "instructive message about what you did"

6. Go back on the dev branch: git checkout dev and pull git pull just to make sure you are up to date.

7. Switch back to your branch: git checkout workshop3_intro and merge locally: git merge dev. If there are conflicts, please resolve them! When you're done, push your branch on the Github repository: git push --set-upstream origin workshop3_intro

8. Open a Pull Request (PR)

9. Assign your PR to a reviewer (one of the 3 R workshop coordinators);

10. The reviewer will squash and merge the post once the build passed on Travis.

11. Once the PR is merged, do not forget to pull the dev branch!
