Class 2: Workflow and Version Control

Today, we’ll make sure we’re all set up up with your Jupyter Notebook via Open OnDemand. From this environment, you can use R or Python, you can commit changes in Git and push/pull changes to GitHub, and you can compile your code into a PDF. Eventually, we’ll introduce quarto markdown into our notebooks to compile more professional looking documents, but we don’t need to worry about that yet.

Objectives

• Authenticate GitHub account in Open OnDemand environment
• Create your first repository and link to “local” directory under version control with Git
• Set up a basic Jupyter Notebook using Open OnDemand
• Familiarize yourself with the folder structure
• Review common data manipulation concepts and techniques
