Initiate your package and share it on GitHub

• Create a new project with {fusen} using git

• Follow the “dev/0-dev_history.Rmd” to describe your project

  • At least, you will have to fill the fusen::fill_description() function with your identity as below

# Describe your project
fusen::fill_description(
  pkg = here::here(),
  fields = list(
    Title = "Share Your Project Following Good Development Practices From a Rmarkdown File",
    Description = "Use Rmarkdown First method. Strengthen your work with documentation and tests. Everything can be set from a Rmarkdown file in your project.",
    `Authors@R` = c(
      person("John", "Doe", email = "john@email.me", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0000-0000-0000"))
    )
  )
)
# Define License with use_*_license()
usethis::use_mit_license("John Doe")

• Open the “dev/flat_full.Rmd”
  • This is the skeleton to follow if you want a properly documented and tested work
    • Write what the code is supposed to do in plain markdown
    • Separate the function from the example and test chunks
    • Create new sections below in your flat template with the Addin > add {fusen} chunk
• Then inflate() the flat template to build the proper structure of the project
  • Sections will be transferred in the correct places to get a proper package
  • A set of checks will be run to verify that your work is properly documented and tested

fusen::inflate(flat_file = "dev/flat_full.Rmd", vignette_name = "Get started")

• Share your work on a website using GitHub
  • You may need to run usethis::create_github_token(), then gitcreds::gitcreds_set() before, if you do not have a registered GitHub token yet.
  • You will be asked multiple times if you want to commit, you can say “yes” each time.

#' \dontrun{
#' # This modifies the current directory and send it on GitHub
init_share_on_github()
#' }

In a few minutes, you’ll be able to see and share your project website.
You won’t have to run this command line again. Each time you push new commits to the main branch on GitHub, your website will be updated thanks to GitHub Actions.

What happens behind the scene ?

init_share_on_github() runs multiple steps to be able to share a proper package on GitHub:

• Start versionning with git if not already
• Connect to your GitHub account
• Create a minimal DESCRIPTION file if missing
  • You will have to update its content with your information after deployment
• Add NEWS file to present modifications of your releases
• Add README.Rmd and knit it to README.md to quickly present the aim and the use of your package
• Init continuous integration (CI)
  • Check the package on Linux, Windows and MacOS
  • Calculate code coverage
• Init continuous deployment (CD) of the {pkgdown} website documentation
• Commit and push to GitHub
• List remaining manual steps to make the website public
