Make your website with R Markdown in minutes

This is a template (and tutorial) for creating your website with R Markdown in minutes.

The official document from RStudio can be found here.

Procedure

Prerequisites

• Make sure that you have the latest versions of R, RStudio and package rmarkdown. I had problems of encoding because of that.

• Make sure that you have enabled Git in RStudio. More information can be found there.

• You need a GitHub account.

Make the first version of your website

• Fork this repo (top-right) and rename it to be 'YOURGITHUB.github.io' (in Settings of your brand new repo).

• Get the link from cloning the repo. Use the green button "Clone" and make sure you use SSH, not HTTPS. Then, go to RStudio, create a New Project > Version Control > Git and copy this link. You have cloned your new repo as an R project.

• Build the website by running rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = "UTF-8") or just Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + B.

• Commit and push everything from RStudio.

• Go see your new website at https://YOURGITHUB.github.io/index.html.

Change the content of your website

• Modify _site.yml, index.Rmd, about.Rmd, cv.Rmd and CV.pdf with your own content.

• Build your website again. At any moment, you can preview your website locally, by rendering your site and viewing any of your local html file in your Web Browser.

• Commit and push everything from RStudio.

• Go see your new website with your own content at https://YOURGITHUB.github.io/.

Welcome to GitHub Pages

You can use the editor on GitHub to maintain and preview the content for your website in Markdown files.

Whenever you commit to this repository, GitHub Pages will run Jekyll to rebuild the pages in your site, from the content in your Markdown files.

Jekyll Themes

Your Pages site will use the layout and styles from the Jekyll theme you have selected in your repository settings. The name of this theme is saved in the Jekyll _config.yml configuration file.
