Nice!! I'm sure I wasn't the only one with this thought :)

Dear Abhijit, As in our institute the usage of git/github from within Rstudio was a specific request from the researchers, we do have a hands-on workshop for git in Rstudio, see https://inbo.github.io/git-course/course_rstudio.html. Maybe this could be useful.. regards, Stijn 2018-03-14 13:39 GMT+01:00 Abhijit Dasgupta <aikidasgu...@gmail.com <mailto:aikidasgu...@gmail.com>>: Hello, I am working on a SWC workshop based on R that's coming up, and I had a thought. For the R based workshops, we use RStudio, which also has a Git interface, and in fact you can initialize and set up git for a project through the RStudio Project interface. In fact this is a common workflow for R users using RStudio. While I understand the merits of doing some "bare metal" work on Git so that learners can use Git in any environment, for R-based workshops, would it make it easier for learners if we concentrated on the RStudio git interface, so there's a bit more unification with RStudio being the central tool. There is also a bash-based command-line terminal available in current RStudio versions, which could possible also be used for the shell lesson. A big downside of this is modularity...we would have separate Git and Shell lessons for the R-based and Python-based (and other software-based) workshops. Strategically for the Carpentries, this might not be a good thing. Throwing this out there, and I'm willing to take leadership developing a fully RStudio based workshop if we think this is a worthwhile enterprise.
