Publish R products with one click from RStudio

[maurolepore]

Clicking only one button from RStudio, we can now publish R products including R Markdown documents, Shiny applications, R plots, and so on. For example: https://bookdown.org/forestgeoguest/mpart

This service makes it easier to follow the progress of an analysis. Readers can view the latest version of any publication directly online, without exchanging emails.

Privacy can be controlled at different levels, from completely private, through to accessible to only specific users, all the way to completely public.

Any email accounts can be linked to this service. For now, our is forestgeoguest@gmail.com.

Connecting a new account to RStudio Connect via blogdown.org

upload your [R-product] to https://bookdown.org, which is a website provided by RStudio to host your [R-products] for free. This website is built on top of “RStudio Connect”, an RStudio product that allows you to deploy a variety of R-related applications to a server, including R Markdown documents, Shiny applications, R plots, and so on.
