This is a template for the EDAV final project. It is based on the template created with File, New Project..., New Directory, Book Project using bookdown in RStudio.

If you have any difficulties or have feedback of any kind, please file an issue or communicate through Discussions.

• 1. Click the green "Use this template" button above. DO NOT FORK THE REPO. Choose a descriptive name for your repo, such as "federalbudget" or "AIDSdeaths". (If you change your mind before you do any work, delete your new repo and start over.)

• 2. In the Description field, write: "Bookdown source files for EDAV final project".

• 1. On the home page of your repo, click Settings. Click the "Pages" section on the left. Change Source from None to main, change / (root) to /docs folder, and click Save. Above the Source line, a bar will appear with your book's URL. The bar will initially be blue and indicate that your book is ready to be published and will change to green once it is published. Copy the URL. (Note that sometimes there is a delay until your book actually appears at that URL. If it doesn't appear after a few minutes, make a change and commit it to trigger a GitHub Pages build.)

• 2. Click the gear button near "About" on the home page of the repo and paste your book URL into the Website field that appears on the right.

• 1. Clone your new repo with File, New Project..., Version Control, Git in RStudio.

• 1. In index.Rmd, change YOUR TITLE HERE to your title.

• 2. In index.Rmd, change YOUR NAMES HERE to your names.

• 3. In _bookdown.yml, change YOUR GITHUB USERNAME to your GitHub username in the two places it appears.

• 4. In _bookdown.yml, change YOUR GITHUB REPO to your GitHub repo name in the two places it appears.

(Note that 3. and 4. provide links to the .Rmd files of your project for editing and viewing. If you move your .Rmd files you will need to update these file paths. Once your book is rendered, test that the edit (pen) and view (eye) buttons work.)

• 5. In _output.yml, change YOUR SHORT TITLE to a shortened version of your title. (Leave the "after:" line indicating that the book was published with bookdown as is.)

• 1. Install bookdown with install.packages("bookdown"). If you already have it, update to the most recent version.

• 2. Render locally with bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd") or clicking the Build book button which should appear in the Build tab (in the same pane as Environment, History, Connections, ...).

• 3. Use browseURL("docs/index.html") to view your book locally (or just open index.html in a browser).

• 4. If it looks good, commit and push all changed files to GitHub.

(You will need to repeat steps 2 and 4 every time you wish to update the book online.)

Once you've completed these steps, delete the content of this README and add a short description of your project with a link to the book URL. It would be appreciated if you add the following to the end:

This repo was initially generated from a bookdown template available here: https://github.com/jtr13/EDAVtemplate.
