Welcome to the GitHubFun wiki!

Before a GitHubFun workshop, you need to:

1. Sign up for a GitHub account and open your first issue

2. Install R and RStudio on your device

3. Install Git on your device

4. Test if everything is set up correctly by contributing to an existing repository

---

Important notes:

1. You should complete these steps one week before the workshop. If all goes well (i.e., no errors) you need about one hour to go through all of them. If you do get errors then you need more time - I can help you fix those errors, but you need to factor in the extra time (e.g., 1-2 days depending on how busy I am).
