Hack your way to a good git history

online, 🌐 • With Maëlle Salmon.

A confident git practice can change the work life of anyone writing code or prose with R, resulting in a useful history to browse or go back to, the possibility to work in parallel on different aspects, etc. In particular, it is best git practice to create small, atomic commits with informative messages. Why? And how?

Learn three reasons why small git commits are worth it. Discover how to realistically create them, without too much hassle. Find out how the saperlipopette R package can help you practice safely, and share your own git tips and questions!
