@ht1212 The post looks great! I'm using the function--thank you! One thing I wanted to note was it might be nice to include the install instructions devtools::install_github("SwissTPH/CHWplacement"), for those aren't familiar with packages on GitHub, and cite them.

Documentation on where and how to get population rasters for specified areas, and maybe how to do extractions for polygons/buffers around points.

Hello @justinmillar !

Thanks for the documentation--I'm working through it! The second couple of links now return a 404. Also, proposing addition to first chunk:

remotes::install_github("mdsumner/whatarelief")

valid ones!

Hello!

I can't include @ht1212 as an assignee for some reason... This is a very limited issue that might be user error: I'm not having luck classifying an island. It has missing data in neighboring cells, and I'm not sure if this could be why. Or does each cell in the cluster need to meet the density threshold for those that exceed it to count as urban? If yes, that's what's going on! Here are the data I'm working with:

Fast intro to git and Github workflows using CLI, Github Desktop (or other clients?), and RStudio. Should have brief what/why/how of git, install, forking, pull/commit, push, and (most importantly) making a pull request.
