This is the first time I try to do a webpage in R (and not in Ra as well). I had a little understanfig on how GitHub works and some kowlege about R, R Studio and R Markdown (this one I learn today).
Then I ventue to use this tutorial to see how this actually works. Here i am, creating this new tab as a way to encourage who ever reads this (probably no one) to try this!
The R - GitHub combination is really exiting. There is a whole world out there. You can get really creative.
In the Your Turn section you find the Add new page header which basically tells you to open the _site.yml and thats it.
Well guess what, thats not all you need to do. You actually have to create the new page.
Adding it to _site.yml is just one step.
Here I will guide you through my experience.
You do have to add the name of your new page in the _site.yml, following the same format than the previous pages name.
Then you have to create the page content. This, you do it in a new R Markdown file.
You open a new file and add al the information you want to add. This is exactly what I’m doig right now.
Once you added all you wanted you have to SAVE, Build in the Website again and then try to open the link.
Remember to sync with your GitHub in order to have all your progress tracked.
