For collaborators

To process issues flagged as "New Data Submission Request" and add them to the NEFSCspatial package you will need to clone the repository, create a branch, then a pull request.

• Clone the repo
• Set up a new, version controlled, git project in Rstudio
• Create a new branch (in Rstudio) with the name "data_request_xx" where xx is the issue number
• Use one of the supplied functions in the data-raw folder to convert the shapefile (.shp) file into the required format. If the spatial data is not a shapefile then you will need to include processing scripts.
