This repository contains course notes, data, and slides for the R for Data Science course taught by CoRise.

The easiest way to get started is by forking this repository and opening it in a cloud workspace, either using Gitpod or Github Codespaces

Install the gitpod extension

The easiest way to get started is by installing the gitpod browser extension. Once you add this extension, you will see a green colored gitpod button in every GitHub repository that has integrated with gitpod.

Fork this repository to your GitHub account

The next step is to fork this repository to your GitHub account. Doing this will let you work with your own copy of the data and documents and allow you to make and save changes.

Click on the green colored gitpod button

This will take you to gitpod. You might be prompted to sign in to gitpod if you have not already done so. I would recommend using the github sign in as it would make it a lot easier for you to save your changes back to github.

The first time you open a GitHub repository in gitpod, it will prompt you to start a new workspace. You can accept the defaults as-is and click on the continue button.

Gitpod will create a workspace for your GitHub repository and open it in your browser. If all goes well, you will be greeted with this screen.

Gitpod natively opens the VS Code IDE. However, we will be using RStudio for this course.

I would recommend clicking on the Open Browser icon on the top right to open RStudio in a new browser tab.

You can log in with the username gitpod and password gitpod.

Fork this repository to your github account

The first step is to fork this repository to your github account. Doing this will let you work with your own copy of the data and documents and allow you to make and save changes.

Click Create Codespace on Main

The next step is to click on the green button "Create codespace on main". This will start building a new container and workspace for you.

It might take a while the very first time you build it. If all goes, you will be greeted with this screen.

Open RStudio in Browser

Click on the Open in Browser icon next to RStudio. This will open a new tab with RStudio. You can log in to it with the username and password rstudio.
