This lesson is a template lesson that uses The Carpentries Workbench.
To use this template to start a new lesson repository,
make sure you're logged into Github.
Visit https://github.com/carpentries/workbench-template-rmd/generate
and follow the instructions.
Checking the 'Include all branches' option will save some time waiting for the first website build
when your new repository is initialised.
If you have any questions, contact @zkamvar
Follow the steps below to complete the initial configuration of a new lesson repository built from this template:
- Make sure GitHub Pages is activated:
navigate to Settings,
select Pages from the left sidebar,
and make sure that
gh-pages
is selected as the branch to build from. If nogh-pages
branch is available, check Actions to see if the first website build workflows are still running. The branch should become available when those have completed. - Adjust the
config.yaml
file: this file contains global parameters for your lesson site. Individual fields within the file are documented with comments (beginning with#
) At minimum, you should adjust all the fields marked 'FIXME':title
created
keywords
life_cycle
(the default, pre-alpha, is the appropriate for brand new lessons)contact
- Annotate the repository with site URL and topic tags:
navigate back to the repository landing page and
click on the gear wheel/cog icon (similar to ⚙️)
at the top-right of the About box.

and add some keywords and other annotations to describe your lesson
