[BlindRUG] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Help using version control with github.

[JooYoung Seo]

Dear shey,

As Robin kindly responded, you would get more information via
program-l listserv (https://www.freelists.org/list/program-l).

In the meantime, I would like to direct you to some available resources online.

1. Mastering GitHub with a screen reader:
http://bats.fyi/2016/08/19/mastering-github-with-a-screen-reader-part-1/

2. `usethis_github` function within usethis package:
https://usethis.r-lib.org/reference/use_github.html

As one of the everyday GitHub users who is blind, I recommend you use
command line when interacting with git (e.g., make a new commit,
manage branches, compare code differences), and use github web page
for communication (e.g., pull requests and comments).

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,

JooYoung
