Project 2 was a group project in which we analyzed the online news popularity data set and created predictive models to predict the number of shares for each news channel. We also created files for each channel by automating Markdown reports.

If I had to do a similar project in the future I would make sure I had a thorough understanding of github and how it works. I understand how to push and pull down files; however, I am limited in the amount of trouble shooting I can do when I have issues. Whenever I have issues I delete my project files on my computer, start a new project, and download the files to my computer again for a fresh start. I only had to do that once with this project so I feel like I am getting more familiar with what I can and can’t do when pushing files up to github. So working with github and dealing with the anticipation that something could go wrong while working with github was the most difficult part of the project for me.

The big takeaways from the project for me were learning how to use github to collaborate on a project. It was interesting to see how we could share code and document each others changes in github. After this experience I feel like I can use github to collaborate on similar projects with others in the future.
