Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`.

It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

Similar to what Elizabeth said, first check to make sure there are no duplicates (janitor::get_dupes is one way in R). Then decide what type of join you want to do. Names will also need to be identical across datasets. I give several examples of how to join in R here: cghlewis.com/blog/joins/
