# .gitignore — patterns for files Git should leave untracked. Files NOT matched
# below (your .qmd source, README, codebooks) are eligible to be tracked; they
# reach GitHub only once you commit and push them.

# RStudio per-user state — machine-specific, would only add noise
.Rproj.user/
.Rhistory
.RData
.Ruserdata

# Operating-system junk files
.DS_Store

# Data — kept local. Course datasets can be large or restricted, and a private
# repo still isn't a home for protected data. Git tracks code, not data.
data/

# Downloaded source documentation — when a dataset arrives with the provider's
# own codebook, questionnaire, or methodology, file those in a subfolder here
# and they stay local. Your own notes about a source (a flat .md file in this
# folder) are tracked, so the project still records where the data came from.

# Generated output — regenerates from your .qmd source, so the repo keeps the
# source instead. Delete these two lines only if you need HTML committed.
