Statistical Computing Website Repository

This Repository contains all the files to construct the website: ucrgradstat.github.io/stat_comp/

Building the Website

The website is a collection of R Markdown files. The website is built using Quarto. Make changes to Q Markdown files to update the website. Then use the code below to build the website:

quarto::quarto_render()

You may also build the website from the build tab. Make sure to build the website before pushing to GitHub.

Configuring _quarto.yml

The _quarto.yml file contains all the information needed to build the website. Make sure to keep the following lines:

project:
  type: website
  output-dir: docs
  render: 
    - index.qmd
    - about.qmd
    - hpcc.qmd
    - python_tutorials.qmd
    - r_tutorials.qmd
    - submission.qmd

These lines tells Quarto how to build the website. The output-dir indicates where to put the built website, and render indicates which files need to be built. If any new files need to be built, add them to the render section.

Tips for Building Website

• Make sure to have README.html

• Use .gitignore to ignore cache folders from files

• Use styles.css to change the appearance of the website

Tutorials

The tutorials can be any format. However, to host it on the website, an html file is needed. If anyone submits an R Markdown file, compile it and use the html file.
