Hack to update a package-website without creating a new release #302

Open maurolepore opened 2 years ago

maurolepore commented 2 years ago

To add an article (or any change) to the website of a package without releasing a new version to CRAN you may use this hack:

Checkout the tag of the latest release.
Checkout the new article from the main (or devel) branch.
Run pkgdown::deploy_to_branch()
Don't commit anything (reset and clean as necessary), and move back to your main/devel branch.
