Blog on FAKIN project status

How to update the blog

Step 1: Install blogdown package

# Install the devtools package
if (! require("devtools")) {

  install.packages("devtools", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org")
}

# Install the blogdown package
devtools::install_github("rstudio/blogdown")

# Install hugo
blogdown::install_hugo()

Step 2: Create new knowledge post

Create an Rmarkdown post similar to 2017-05-19-fakin-project-started.Rmd in directory content/post.

Step 3: Update the blog

To do so run the following R code:

### Delete "public" folder (i.e. in case of older website builds)
unlink("public", recursive = TRUE)

### Build site
blogdown::build_site(local = FALSE)

### Copy files from public folder (please do not COMMIT!!) into docs folder 
### which is required to work for GITHUB (all changed content of the docs folder 
### needs to be committed to Github for the blog to be updated)
file.copy(from = "public/.", to = "docs", overwrite = TRUE, recursive = TRUE)

If completed finally commit (vit GIT/Subversion) the changed files in the following two directories:

• content/post
• docs

and you are done.
