use_pkgdown: Use pkgdown

Description

pkgdown makes it easy to turn your package into a beautiful website. There are two helper functions:

  • use_pkgdown(): creates a pkgdown config file, adds relevant files or directories to .Rbuildignore and .gitignore, and builds favicons if your package has a logo

  • use_pkgdown_travis(): helps you set up pkgdown for automatic deployment on Travis-CI. As part of a general pivot away from Travis-CI and towards GitHub Actions, the tidyverse team now builds pkgdown sites with a workflow configured via use_github_action("pkgdown"). use_pkgdown_travis() is still here, but is no longer actively exercised by us. Key steps:

    • Creates an empty gh-pages branch for the pkgdown site to be deployed to.

    • Prompts you about what to do next regarding Travis-CI deployment keys and updating your .travis.yml.

Usage

use_pkgdown(config_file = "_pkgdown.yml", destdir = "docs")

use_pkgdown_travis()

Arguments

config_file

Path to the pkgdown yaml config file

destdir

Target directory for pkgdown docs
