Go to github | |
Create new repository [don't need to initialize with the readme (can add later)] | |
Go to R Studio | |
File -> New Project -> Version Control -> Git | |
Ctrl+V repository URL from GitHub | |
File -> New -> Markdown, enter Title, etc. | |
In the Markdown window, change "output=html_document" to "output=github_document" | |
Knit the document for the first time, will prompt you to save | |
Save as Title.rmd | |
In the "git" tab of the R studio Environment window, you will notice that the knit produced: | |
Title.rproj | |
Title.rmd | |
Title.md | |
Changing output to github_document makes the original .rmd knit to .md so the code can be rendered when pushed to Git. | |
In the Git window, check the box to stage Title.md [NOT .rmd] | |
Click "commit," add comment. | |
Click the green arrow to push to GitHub. | |
Go to GitHub, refresh the repository, and the markdown document with rendered code will be there | |
IF YOUR DOCUMENT INCLUDES GRAPHS: | |
When you knit, a new file will save to the Git window, called Title.docs | |
When you commit, check the box to stage the .docs in addition to the .md document. | |
This will commit the graphs as a separate file to the repository, | |
although the graphics will automatically pull in to the markdown document when rendered. |
