rogtemplate

rogtemplate is a private pkgdown template for core rOpenGov package sites. It provides site setup helpers, package asset helpers and rOpenGov color palettes.

Please do not use it for your own code.

Using rogtemplate

You can deploy your pkgdown site with rogtemplate through a GitHub Action or build it locally. The GitHub Action is automatic after setup. A local build gives you more control.

Option A: Deploy with a GitHub Action

You do not need to install rogtemplate itself. First copy this workflow file to your .github/workflows/ folder.

Then go to YOUR_GITHUB_REPO > Settings > Pages and configure GitHub Pages to publish from the gh-pages branch.

Option B: Build after installing rogtemplate

You can install rogtemplate from r-universe:

install.packages("rogtemplate",
  repos = c("https://ropengov.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org")
)

You can also use the pak package:

pak::pak("ropengov/rogtemplate")

Use rog_actions_pkgdown_branch() to set up the workflow described above. The deployment is still performed by a GitHub Action.

To build your package locally into the docs folder, use:

rogtemplate::rog_build()

# or use

rogtemplate::rog_add_template_pkgdown()
pkgdown::build_site()

rogtemplate::rog_add_template_pkgdown() creates a _pkgdown.yml file or modifies an existing one, with these lines:

_pkgdown.yml

template:
  bootstrap: 5
  package: rogtemplate

These lines tell pkgdown to use rogtemplate.

Commit to GitHub and deploy

The last step is to commit to GitHub. If you use the GitHub Action workflow, wait until it finishes, then configure GitHub Pages from YOUR_GITHUB_REPO > Settings > Pages.

Package assets and palettes

rogtemplate also provides package asset helpers for badges, logos and fonts, plus rOpenGov color palettes. See the reference index for details.
