Better yet, make edits on your own fork or branch for this repo, and submit a pull request with changes that fixes the Issue you created. This repository uses Git LFS, so be sure to have that installed alongside Git.

To reiterate, here are a few things to keep in mind when trying to contribute to this repo:

1. Be sure to have Git and Git LFS
2. inst/extdata/taxonomy/spp.key.csv has the taxonomic key, which needs help
3. Documentation and (particularly data set metadata) needs improvement

• edit R/datasets.R
• use devtools::document()

4. If you see something that is missing or needs improvement, create an issue

This repository uses git-lfs. Git Large File Storage is a way to manage large binary files into a git workflow without taking up a ton of disk space (and it lets you put large files up to GitHub!).

Installing git-lfs is easy; see this link for instructions.

See on the page on keeping Git and Git LFS Updated to see how to install, manage, and update these programs.
