Xaringan_gh

A example repo to demonstrate how to host xaringan slides on github page

How to use:

• Create a repo(Or clone this one) with xaringan slide and the following files:
  • xaringan_example.rmd, your xaringan slide
  • index.md, for the homepage of github page, see the index.md for an example.
• In rstudio, knit the xaringan slides.
• Push everything to github
• Setup github pages: Settings - Github Pages- source: master branch, (Optional: choose a jekyll theme)
• Done, the slides can be viewed online at https://{account}.github.io/{repo_name}/{xaringan_slide_filename}

For example

• The URL for this xaringan_example slide is at: https://tcgriffith.github.io/xaringan_gh/xaringan_example
• I embedded the xaringan slide into the github page(index.md). Using this method you could embed the slide in a blogdown post as well.(Or if you are creative, embed it into another xaringan slide recursively and get your own russian doll

I've recently learned a few more things about xaringan/gh pages/jekyll so it's time to simplify the process to deploy xaringan on gh pages.
