Initialise a hubverse package

Create a hubverse package skeleton

First create a package skeleton.

library(hubDevs)

temp_dir <- tempdir()
path <- fs::path(temp_dir, "testPkg")
create_hubdev_pkg(path)

Set up package on GitHub

Before going on, ensure that you have a GitHub personal access token (PAT) set up. Dr. Jenny Bryan provides a very good overview of how to do this from R with the usethis and gitcreds packages: https://happygitwithr.com/https-pat.html

Once the new package is launched, you can set it up on GitHub with:

use_hubdev_github()

Note: Your GitHub token must have rights to create a repository in the hubverse organisation for this to succeed.

The function runs a number of internal utilities for setting up a hubverse package on GitHub:

• Creates a repo in the hubverse GitHub organisation
• Adds details of the repository to the DESCRIPTION file
• Initialises pkgdown documentation including configuring site to use the hubStyle pkgdown template.
• Creates GitHub Action workflows for:
  • standard R CMD CHECK
  • test coverage
  • linting with lintr
  • building pkgdown documentation and deploying production docs to GitHub Pages and PR previews to a Netlify site

Individual Utilities

The high level functions above are wrappers for a number of individual utilities that can be run separately.

Add community documents

To add a Code of Conduct and Contributing guide to your package, run:

use_hubdev_community()

This runs use_hubdev_coc() and use_hubdev_contributing() and creates a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md and CONTRIBUTING.md in the .github/ directory.

Configure pkgdown site to use hubverse defaults

To configure your package site to pkgdown with the hubStyle template, and deploy using the hubverse’s pkgdown deployment GitHub action run:

use_hubdev_pkgdown()

The function performs a number of actions to configure a hubverse package’s pkgdown site to use the hubStyle template for docs styling.

• Runs use_pkgdown() to initialise pkgdown documentation.
• Runs use_github_pages() to initialise GitHub Pages for the package.
• Adds a GitHub Action workflow for building pkgdown documentation and deploying to GitHub Pages (productions) and Netlify (PR previews) using use_hubdev_pkgdown_action().
• Adds the hubStyle repository to the DESCRIPTION’s Config/Needs/website property using add_website_needs().
• Creates a favicon for the package using the hubStyle logo.
• Overwrites standard _pkgdown.yml file with customised configuration to use the hubverse hubStyle package for docs styling.
