As with all github projects there always seems to be someone else who has managed to explain and write a blog about what you need, just when you need it… I wish :)

This is an collection of resources I have used to make this happen. I think this is a massive leap for reproducible workflow and in particular, science commumication but I will build on this thoughout the website.

Tutorials and Blogs

I found this blog explaining how Jacob Fiksel steps through the process very helpful.

My notes

These are my take home points and things I found hard.

  1. Need all the basics to begin with (GIThub, Jekyll, R, RStudio).

  2. Key run code

??bundle gem install jekyll??

bundle exec jekyll build

bundle exec jekyll serve --watch
  1. View/run in RStudio
> servr::jekyll()

Serving the directory C:\GIT\davan690.github.io at http://127.0.0.1:5652
  1. Stop server

servr::daemon_stop(3)

ERRORs

1. missing jekyll

Warning message: In system2("jekyll", "build"): '"jekyll"' not found NULL

I found I needed to install ruby gems for jekyll using the following code snippits:

??bundle gem install jekyll??
