This post describes pre-workshop setup necessary for the workshop:

What They Forgot to Teach You About R
at posit::conf 2023
Sep 17, 2023
Chicago

  1. Please be ready with current versions of both R and RStudio. This means R>= 4.3.1 and RStudio >= 2023.06.1+524, unless you have a good reason otherwise.
    See the discussion in Install or upgrade R and RStudio: https://happygitwithr.com/install-r-rstudio.html#install-r-rstudio.

  2. It is essential that you complete the Git + GitHub + RStudio pre-workshop setup in advance, as described here: https://happygitwithr.com/workshops.html#pre-workshop-set-up.
    This truly requires your attention before the morning of Sep 17th. We want to show you how to use Git/GitHub in your life as an R-using data analyst, which means we can't afford to get bogged down in a hot mess of Git installation issues. Let's try to work through them beforehand.

  3. Install VS Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/), optionally with R language support (R - Visual Studio Marketplace).

Use this thread if you need any help or clarification.

If you wonder why we've chosen to include Git/GitHub in this workshop, you might want to read Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about version control? .

Go forth and install Git! :sparkler:
