Further reading

There is much more to be said about version control and we have only covered enough here to get you started with the most common operations. As you grow accustomed with version control, you probably want to start using more features than are currently interfaced through RStudio. The first features to look into are probably branching and merging of development lines and reverting commits. A good online resource for using GIT on the command line is the GIT book (http://git-scm.com/book). For Subversion, the SVN book (http://svnbook.red-bean.com), which is partly written by some of Subversion's developers comes highly recommended. Both books can be read for free online or ordered as a hard copy.
