Some of the content in there is beyond the scope of this course, but it's a good place to look for help. --- ## Tour: Git and GitHub - Create a GitHub account - Verify your GitHub email - Adjust your GitHub settings for a more pleasant GitHub experience - Settings > Emails > Uncheck "Keep my email address private" - Settings > Emails > Update name and photo <br> *In the lab...* *Work with R, RStudio, Git, and GitHub together!*⁺ .footnote[ ⁺Just like a real data scientist! ] --- ## Acknowledgements * This course builds on the materials from [Data Science in a Box](https://datasciencebox.org/) developed by Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel and are adapted under the [Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 International](https://github.com/rstudio-education/datascience-box/blob/master/LICENSE.md)
