How to add error bars in ggplot2

tidyverse

Hi

This is my first time making a graph using R studio/R/ggplot2 so I apologize if I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm really at my wits and end am close to giving up.

I just want to add some error bars onto my graph that shows standard deviation but I can't get it to work. The entirety of the script is more or less copied and I don't have a clue what half of it means.

ttest_a <- t.test(x=my_data$Exposed , y=my_data$Shaded, mu = 0,
alternative ="two.sided", conf = 0.95, var.eq = F,paired = F)

my_data <- read.csv("geum_data.csv")
graph <-ggplot(my_data, aes(exposure, seedling.count, fill = exposure)) +
geom_col(width = 0.5) + theme(axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(t = 0, r = 10, b = 0, l = 0)))+
geom_text(aes(label= 38), position=position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust=-0.25) +
labs(fill = "Exposure")

graph <- graph + labs(x = "Exposure", y = "Seedling Count avg.")===]
print (graph)
my_data <- data.frame(
stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
exposure = c("Shaded", "Exposed"),
seedling.count = c(38, 307))

ggplot(my_data, aes(exposure, seedling.count, fill = exposure)) +
geom_col(width = 0.5) +
geom_text(aes(label = seedling.count),
position=position_dodge(width=0.9),
vjust=-0.25) +
labs(x = "Exposure",
y = "Seedling Count avg.",
fill = "Exposure") +
scale_fill_manual(values = c("skyblue1", "purple")) +
theme(axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(t = 0, r = 10, b = 0, l = 0)))

and no for some reason reprex isnt working

You can use geom_errorbar()

If you need more specific help, please provide a proper REPRoducible EXample (reprex) illustrating your issue.

i told you reprex wont work. it just highlights what it thinks is the error, ive copied it all out i dont know why that isnt good enough

Because you are not providing any sort of sample data, so we can't easily reproduce your issue and try to give you a solution.
