What is IT-R?

IT-R is a collection of bash scripts and R functions that allow instructors who use servers for teaching with R-Studio to more easily handle tasks such as assigning, collecting, and returning assignments.

Setup Environment

SSH (preferred)

git clone git@github.com:cameverett/itr.git

HTTPS

git clone https://github.com/cameverett/itr.git

Setting Up Commands

cd into the repository and run source ./setup.sh in the terminal.

It's as simple as that! Run classman help to check if the scripts have been setup properly. You should see a man page pop up in your terminal.

If you do not see the man page and receive a message saying a script cannot be found you will need to run source $HOME/.bash_aliases or exit and start a new terminal.
