+There is also a newer format, also built by Rstudio (now named Posit) called [Quarto](https://quarto.org/). Quarto documents are very similar to RMarkdown, have broader support for additional programming languages, and will likely eventually replace the Rmarkdown format.

 ### Put your code on GitHub
 
-As you write more code, especially as functions and script pipelines, hosting and documenting them on GitHub is great way to make them portable and searchable. Even the free tier of GitHub accounts now has private repositories (repo).

 If you have any interest in a career in data science/informatics, GitHub is also a common showcase of what (and how well/often) you can code. After some accumulation of code, definitely put your GitHub link on your CV/resume.
