thanks! super helpful. I should have added that I render the README with knitr, not rmarkdown. can you add a commit with README.md rendered with knitr::knit('README.Rmd')
or with equivalent rstudio buttons/however you use R. the yaml header is not needed AFAIK with knitr. I'll add that bit to the contributing.md file and PR template
You're welcome!
I removed the yaml header.
I added the yaml header, because I didn't know about knitr::knit('README.Rmd')
and couldn't figure out how to knit the Rmd using the knit button in RStudio without this yaml, and also because it is present in the readme file that is created with usethis::knit('README.Rmd')
.
Is there an advantage to have a readme without yaml or is it a question of habits?
Just habits. By way of an explanation.... I don't use rstudio. I use a text editor (sublime text) and a terminal (iterm). Across all R pkgs I run things like build/install package, knit the readme, run tests, etc. through make commands (using the Makefile) in iterm. And using knitr is just historical since i started making pkgs before rmarkdown was available
looks great, thanks!
