Having a well organized project directory is critical to the reproducibility of any R project. In this tutorial, Pat shows three approaches you can take to organize your R project and the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. These approaches include using Finder/Windows Explorer,  base R, and bash with git, all of which can be done from within Rstudio. This is part of a series of videos demonstrating how to functions from base R to make these data compatible with tools from the tidyverse

The data were generated in our Kozich et al. 2013 paper (http://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01043-13) using samples from the Schloss et al. 2012 paper (http://doi.org/10.4161/gmic.21008).
