README
This repository contains code for re-creating some of my posts from my blog; the updated posts available here have improved content and code. The original posts from my blog were created using WordPress, where I had to copy and paste the code output manually. In this repo, each post is written as a R Markdown file (stored in the analysis directory) and workflowr is used to generate the output and website.
Use run_rstudio.sh to run RStudio Server inside a Docker container and use it to create new posts or modify existing posts. A R package directory will be created in the root directory of this repo to store installed packages so packages do not need to be re-installed each time.
After running run_rstudio.sh, use your favourite browser and log into an RStudio session by visiting http://localhost:7777/ (port 7777 is set in run_rstudio.sh so please change it if there is a conflict). Navigate to this directory using the Files pane in your RStudio session and click on muse.Rproj to load the R project.
Now edit an existing R Markdown file or create a new one by copying another R Markdown file by using the Terminal within RStudio Server; click on Tools, then highlight Terminal, and then click on New Terminal. Once a new terminal is open, navigate to the analysis directory and use cp to make a copy of another R Markdown file. Alternatively, you can use the wflow_open function to create a new minimal R Markdown file.
The .Rprofile file contains my Git settings, so please change this if you are not me.
