I just completed a project to learn the basics of automating reporting using Rmarkdown. The github pages link is here and the github repo link is here.

In the project, Jingjing Li and I automated data exploration and predictive modeling on the bike sharing data set and automated reports for each day of the week.

With the project completed, I would like to reflect on the experience.

• What would I do differently?
  • Develop a schedule with my partner to reduce the likelihood of merge conflicts.
  • Take the time to learn how to solve merge conflicts.
• What was the most difficult part of the project?
  • Have I mentioned merge conflicts?
  • Additionally, getting the plots for the automated .md files to render was a headache.
• What are my big take-aways from this project?
  • I need to learn how projects that have multiple people working on the same branch avoid and resolve merge conflicts efficiently. I’m used to working on my own branch and rolling my changes into the main branch once I hit a development milestone. I need to be able to work collaboratively both ways.
