Support git2r #8

Closed lcolladotor closed 3 years ago

Given Karthik's third point from http://f1000research.com/articles/4-105/v1, it sounds like a great idea for regionReport to upload html files to a gh-pages branch in GitHub if the directory is indeed a git repo and the repo exists in GitHub in a place where the user has access to.

This is somewhat similar to https://github.com/ropensci/git2r/issues/18.

From https://github.com/ropensci/git2r/issues/152 it seems like the user will have to have libssh2 installed and install git2r from source in order to have ssh support. This can easily be checked with

git2r::libgit2_features()$ssh

Thus, it seems that only advanced users will be able to use this feature. It's still a nice one though.

Alternatively, from https://github.com/ropensci/git2r/issues/152 I can use git2r to have the resulting HTML added and committed in the gh-pages branch. And the user would just have to manually push it to GitHub using their preferred GUI or command line.

I'm closing this issue due to inactivity. If it becomes a priority again, we can re-open it.

Also, note that usethis v2.0.0 switched from git2r to gert for interacting with GitHub.
