0.1 Rationale and Organization

  • Intended as an online update to my print book (Dev P. Chakraborty 2017).
  • All references in this book to RJafroc refer to the R package with that name (case sensitive) (D. Chakraborty and Zhai 2022).
  • Since its publication in 2017 RJafroc, on which the R code examples in the print book depend, has evolved considerably causing many of the examples to “break” if one uses the most current version of RJafroc. The code will still run if one uses RJafroc 0.0.1 but this is inconvenient and misses out on many of the software improvements made since the print book appeared.
  • This gives me the opportunity to update the print book.
  • The online book has been divided into 3 books.

0.4 git not ignoring files even though they are in gitignore

see here

The files/folder in your version control will not just delete themselves just because you added them to the .gitignore. They are already in the repository and you have to remove them. You can just do that with this:

Remember to commit everything you’ve changed before you do this!

git rm -rf –cached . git add .

This removes all files from the repository and adds them back (this time respecting the rules in your .gitignore).
