* we don't agree with [keeping your data in your project](https://rstats.wtf/project-oriented-workflow.html#work-in-a-project). Data should be [somewhere else](keepingData.md), _unless you're a .gitignore wizard_ and your data is small (and non-sensitive/non-commercial/public etc)
* using [git(hub/lab)](https://happygitwithr.com/) for version control (perhaps via [usethis](https://usethis.r-lib.org/) and knowing about [ohshitgit](https://ohshitgit.com/) just in case)
* using [git branches](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-Nutshell) as a way for different people to work on the same project without clashing
* Tom has [blogged](https://twrushby.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/collaboration-with-rstudio-and-git-using-branches/) about this
* using git forks and [branches](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-Nutshell) as a way for different people to work on the same project without clashing
* Tom has written a [setup guide](https://git.soton.ac.uk/SERG/feeg6025support/feeg6025-2020-2021/-/blob/master/Guides/SETUP.md) for getting started
* we have written a [short guide](gitBranches.md)
*[HappyGit](https://happygitwithr.com/fork-and-clone.html) gives you the details
*[ohshitgit](https://ohshitgit.com/) may be required here too (but not if you've followed the instructions above)
