This will create a boilerplate directory structure for a Carpentries lesson and initialize a git repository.
Usage
create_lesson(
path,
name = fs::path_file(path),
rmd = TRUE,
rstudio = rstudioapi::isAvailable(),
open = rlang::is_interactive()
)Arguments
- path
the path to the new lesson folder
- name
the name of the lesson. If not provided, the folder name will be used.
- rmd
logical indicator if the lesson should use R Markdown (
TRUE, default), or if it should use Markdown (FALSE). Note that lessons can be converted to use R Markdown at any time by adding a file with the.Rmdfile extension in the lesson.- rstudio
create an RStudio project (defaults to if RStudio exits)
- open
if interactive, the lesson will open in a new editor window.
Examples
tmp <- tempfile()
on.exit(unlink(tmp))
lsn <- create_lesson(tmp, name = "This Lesson", open = FALSE)
