Feedback on Day 1, Unit 4

[apreshill]

Hi @jennybc and @jimhester,

This feedback relates to the following set of materials:

• Slides
• Activities: https://github.com/jennybc/whattheyforgot-seattle/blob/master/activities/git-branch-01.R
  - Note we created an R project called spells

I think all the git day 1 activities located here in this repo got confusing. We were happily coasting through using use_course before, and then these activities were in this repo, then the next day they were in the main WTF repo. I don't know if use_course is overkill here, but the consistency may help even if so.

This section was great- I still don't know what was going on with one person's machine, but she tried typing plain text in .R files (but not executing it) and got into a weird error loop. When we used plain text files it behaved so 🤷‍♀️ . But, related to this error, it would be helpful to demo for folks how to use RStudio to make a new plain text file- not many had experience doing File --> New File --> Text File, so that slowed some down who would have otherwise followed along.
