Sorry, don't know why the pkgdown didn't work properly before. Now it is working for me here https://jacobkap.github.io/R4Econ/. In the Settings tab you may have to set the page source to Master Branch/Docs Folder but then https://hblackburn.github.io/R4Econ/ should work. Useful stuff is in the Articles tab of that.

Hey @jacobkap I'm not sure where I can change the page source or why I should do that? I'm not totally sure what pkgdown is? Could you provide a bit more guidance so I can make the change?

pkgdown is just a quick way to make a website for documentation for an R package. This isn't an R package but it is useful for making a website out of this repository. If you go to this link it'll show what the site would look like. https://jacobkap.github.io/R4Econ/index.html Once the site is made, if you do want to make it, to make it public you need to change where GitHub looks for the pages to make the site. This is done in the Settings tab of this repository. Setting the "Source" option to "master branch/docs folder" will let GitHub know where to look to build the site to make it work. settings_page
