Here is how to publish this book using the docs/ folder (instead of using Travis-CI or some script to move content between branches like we did with _deploy.r).
In RStudio:
-
In the root directory of your book, create a folder called
docs
(all lowercase) -
In
_bookdown.yml
, add a line that saysoutput_dir: "docs"
(no indentation) -
Check your
.Rproj
file (may have to open a separate text editor for this). Make sure that lines ~12 on say the following (replace whatever is there):RnwWeave: knitr LaTeX: pdfLaTeX AutoAppendNewline: Yes StripTrailingWhitespace: Yes BuildType: Website
-
Quit RStudio. When you reopen, your "Build" tab in the top right pane should have a button that says "Build Book"
-
Build your book by clicking the button or in the console:
rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = 'UTF-8')
-
Delete the
_book
folder if it exists (this is what_deploy.R
used) -
Commit and push
On github.com
- Go to your repo > Settings
- Scroll down to GitHub Pages
- Change "Source" to "master branch /docs folder", click "save"
- Delete the "gh-pages" branch, if it exists ("Branches" is next to "commits" on the "Code" tab)
Back in RStudio
- Edit your book, rebuild, commit, and push and see the changes!
