Note The GitHub Skyline API–on which the {skyphone} package depends–stopped responding (i.e. it 404s) soon after this post was published. I may fix {skyphone} in future to work via {gh} instead; feel free to contribute. tl;dr I made the R package {skyphone} to get GitHub contributions data from GitHub Skyline and sonify it. Reach for the skyline Skyline is an online curio from GitHub that lets you input a user’s name and get a 3D rendering of that user’s contributions to the platform. https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/12/08/postcard/ Tue, 08 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/12/08/postcard/ Sleek. Minimal. Bearded. tl;dr Dearest ma and pa, The food here is okay. Mostly I’ve been setting up a single-page personal site with the {postcards} package for R, deploying it with Netlify and setting up a custom domain with Namecheap. More rain is forecast for tomorrow. Wish you were here, Matthew Domain-driven development A hobby of mine is to look for funny domain names and to not buy them. https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/08/09/ghactions-pkgs/ Sun, 09 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/08/09/ghactions-pkgs/ A GitHub Action in action on GitHub. tl;dr You can trigger GitHub Actions to build and test your R package after a push or pull request. Create .github/workflows/ in your repo and add pre-prepared actions by the r-lib team with usethis::use_github_action(). Shortcut I refer back to this post a lot, so here’s some jump-links to the sections with the code I need: Build check Test coverage Build {pkgdown} site Otherwise read on for a more thorough explanation of GitHub Actions in the context of R packages. https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/06/14/ghdump/ Sun, 14 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/06/14/ghdump/ My garbage GitHub repos being dumped onto my local machine (via openclipart.org, CC0 1.0) tl;dr Run ghd_copy() from the {ghdump} package to either clone or download all the GitHub repositories for a given user. Intended for archival purposes or setting up a new computer. The package comes with no guarantees and will likely be in a perpetual work-in-progress state. Please submit issues or pull requests. Clone army Situation: https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/05/08/readme-badge/ Fri, 08 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2020/05/08/readme-badge/ {badgr} is definitely a bodge (CBeebies via Giphy) ℹ️ Note Somehow I missed the existence of the {badger} package by Guangchuang Yu. It contains functions for several pre-baked badge types, plus badge_custom(). Download it from CRAN. tl;dr Sometimes a post on this blog is related to some code in a GitHub repository. I wanted to create a badge to link from that repo to the relevant post. https://www.rostrum.blog/2019/11/01/usethis/ Fri, 01 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2019/11/01/usethis/ Ossie, a Cabinet Office cat (via @cabinetofficeuk) tl;dr I gave a talk about creating an R package with helper functions from the {usethis} package In the session I created a new package from scratch called {cabinet} for identifying the cats that live in the UK Government’s Cabinet Office See the slides in a dedicated window or view their source See the {cabinet} package source and its website Jump to a list of other materials Coffee packaging I gave a talk at a Cabinet Office Coffee & Coding session about building R packages from scratch. https://www.rostrum.blog/2019/10/21/git-github/ Mon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2019/10/21/git-github/ tl;dr Git is software on your computer that acts as a brain to store the version history of your files. Forget the discombobulation of file names like weasel-facts_FINAL.txt, weasel-facts_FINAL_comments.txt, etc, etc. GitHub is a website and cloud service for storing your version history remotely and for making collaboration easier.

You can copy a whole repo as many times as you like, unlike forks. Following a template can help keep your work organised and encourage consistency within and between projects. I can see this being useful for sharing optimal workflows across boundaries like government departments. Tada I’ve made a lightweight repo template to make it easier for me to start very simple analysis projects with R.
