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/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/2019/10/22/blogsnip/ Tue, 22 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2019/10/22/blogsnip/ Inserting a details block with the {blogsnip} addin tl;dr On my commute home I made {blogsnip}: a tiny package of RStudio addins that add snippets of R code to help me write blog posts. Install with: install.packages("remotes") remotes::install_github("matt-dray/blogsnip") The problem I’m lazy. There’s some bits of code I often want to put in my blog posts (written in R Markdown) but I can’t remember them. In particular: an expandable ‘details’ section1, which sometimes contains R session information and the date of the post’s last update (see examples throughout this previous post) a way to add an image with a caption and alt text that differ (like the gif at the top of this post), something that makes the images more accessible for users of screen readers, for example a link that opens in a new tab, rather than in the tab where you’re reading a post (as per this tweet by Albert Y Kim) Originally I stored them in a GitHub Gist, but this is sub-optimal: the internet connection on my commute can be patchy.
