Chapter 1 Index

Remember each Rmd file contains one and only one chapter, and a chapter is defined by the first-level heading #.

To compile this example to PDF, you need XeLaTeX. You are recommended to install TinyTeX (which includes XeLaTeX): https://yihui.name/tinytex/.

1.1 Housekeeping

1. Clone the repository MBayOtolith/Thursdata
2. Create a branch
3. DO NOT edit the .yml files as they are the main component of the bookdown.
4. .travis.yml is the continuous integration file. However, Travis has no access to our organization repos.
5. On your branch (not the master) the work flow will be: Pull->Make changes->save->stage->commit(add notes)->push
6. Then the master (Bia) will take your branch and merge->render->publish to have your changes show up on the book

Use the bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd") to render the .Rmd files into a bookdown format, all packages must be installed and up to date in order to do so.
