Hi,

The requirements for a Data Carpentry workshop are listed at
https://datacarpentry.org/workshops/

Data Carpentry workshops must include:
>
>    - A Data Carpentry lesson on data organization
>    - Three other modules in the same domain from the Data Carpentry
>    curriculum
>    - Be taught by at least one certified Carpentries instructor
>
> and for Software Carpentry at https://software-carpentry.org/lessons/

A Software Carpentry workshop is taught by two trained and badged
> instructors. Over two days, they teach our three core topics: the Unix
> shell, version control with Git, and a programming language (Python or R).


The "R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis" lesson in Software Carpentry
is pretty flexible, and you can arrange the modules to cover much the same
content as an R-focused Data Carpentry workshop (though it will use the
gapminder dataset instead of one with an ecology-, genomics-, social
science- , etc. focus. That is one option.

I think another option would be to run a normal 2-day Data Carpentry
workshop, and have an optional supplemental half-day on using Git and
GitHub.

Best,
