Plot multiple lines each with unique color in R

Question

So I am a bit of an R novice, I am trying to plot a graph that has multiple line each colour coded. My data is currently in the format of 3 columns (Name,Total, Year) and 270 rows. There is 15 years for each name and the data looks something similar to this:

Name  Year  Total
X      1      4
Y      1      6
Z      1      3

I want each name to have its own line running from the first year in the data to the last with the totals being plotted. I am however unaware how to separate out each of these names to ensure that they are plotted separately. My data is currently in a tab delimited text file from excel. I was wondering how to proceed from here. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

With tidyverse it should look like this:

library(tidyverse)

df %>%
ggplot(aes(x = Year, y = Total, color = Name)) +
geom_line()
