Tips on working with others

• Distribute tasks to group members to avoid working on the same file.
• Remember to pull FIRST everytime you re-start working on the project
• Commit and push frequently!
• Repeat the pull--commit--push until you get use to it!

Some other thoughts…

• RStudio appears to be limited to pulling, syncing and committing.
• Advanced features require familiarity with GitHub
