psychtemplate

psychtemplate is an R package that provides tools to create standardized project structures for psychology research, including options for GitHub integration.

Installation

You can install the development version of psychtemplate from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("julianrottenberg/psychtemplate")

Usage

To create a new psychology research project:

library(psychtemplate)

# Create a new project with GitHub integration (default: private repository, APA 6 template)
template_git("MyNewProject", github = TRUE)

# Create a new project without GitHub integration
template_git("LocalProject", github = FALSE)

# Create a new project with GitHub integration and APA 7 template
template_git("MyNewProjectAPA7", github = TRUE, apa7 = TRUE)

# Create a new project with GitHub integration and public repository
template_git("PublicProject", github = TRUE, public_repo = TRUE)

# Create a new project with GitHub integration, APA 7 template, and public repository
template_git("PublicAPA7Project", github = TRUE, apa7 = TRUE, public_repo = TRUE)

This will create a new project with the following structure:

• README.md
• DESCRIPTION
• manuscript.Rmd
• files/ (empty directory)
• testing/ (empty directory)

If github = TRUE, it will also initialize a Git repository, create a private GitHub repository, and push the initial project structure to GitHub.

Requirements

• A GitHub account and personal access token (for GitHub integration)
• The papaja package (for creating APA style manuscripts)
