Commit Multiple Files (Version Control Basic)
This is a follow up to Second Solo Commit.
After talking to a colleague, you realize that
Gaeta_etal_CLC_data.csv
is only the first in a series of similar files that you will receive. To help keep track of files, you decide to number them. Rename the Gaeta_etal_CLC_data.csv
file to Gaeta_etal_CLC_data_1.csv
manually, using the Files tab in RStudio. You’ll also need to change the first line of fish-analysis.R
so that the script will still work.
To include all of these changes in a single commit, stage both data files and the saved R script and then commit with a good commit message.
Git will initially think you’ve deleted Gaeta_etal_CLC_data.csv
and
created a new file Gaeta_etal_CLC_data_1.csv
. But once you click on
both the old and new files to stage them, git will recognize this by making the two files into one and marking this with an R
.
