What's your git workflow look like when you're working with RStudio?
I want to start using github for source control of my scripts. I know you can use the command line/terminal to push a repository, but have been unable to find a package for git. Any suggestion for one?
Alternatively, I could use the system
command: system("git push")
Can anyone suggest a better/more elegant way to do this?
I seem to remember that the new development version of Rstudio has builtin support for git. If you do not want to use that I myself am perfectly fine with using the command line in a separate console to checkin code. You can also do this from within R using the system command.
