Forking workflows

This assignment will allow you to demonstrate your ability to “fork” a repository on GitHub, clone it to RStudio, make some local changes, push them to GitHub, and submit a “pull request”. If you need a reminder as to how this process works, please refer to the notes here.

Task 1

Navigate to the repo https://github.com/FISH549/assignment-2 and fork it to your own GitHub account.

Task 2

Clone your forked copy of the repo to your own computer by creating a new project in RStudio.

Task 3

Create a new branch in your local repo called develop.

Task 4

In the develop branch, create a new R script with the following information, making sure to replace First Last with your name:

## A simple function for adding 2 numbers
## written by First Last
add <- function(a, b) {
  return(a + b)
}

Save this script as add_FL.R, making sure to replace FL with the initials of your first and last name.

Task 5

Commit the new R script you just created to your local repo. When you are finished, push this file to your remote repo on GitHub.

Task 6

Navigate to your remote repo on GitHub to review your new file and submit a pull request (PR). Give your PR an informative title and leave a short description of what your new file does. When you’re finished, submit the PR for Mark’s review.
