Argo Canada Development Blog

The goal of the Argo Canada Development Blog is to provide a venue for communicating chunks of code related to Argo development to facilitate synergy between various Argo development projects. To contribute to the blog

1. Fork this repository
2. Clone to create a local copy.
3. Create a post from R using distill::create_post("The Title Of My Post")
4. Edit the .Rmd file. When you're done, click "Knit" in RStudio (R -e 'rmarkdown::render("_posts/my-post-dir/the-title-of-my-post.Rmd") for command-line R holdouts). You can also run rmarkdown::render_site() to generate a preview of the entire site.
5. Commit, push, and create a pull request

For Python-based posts, you can use the Python engine for RMarkdown (which uses reticulate under the hood and might have to be configured in the first R chunk). Alternatively, you can create your post as an IPython Notebook (e.g., in VSCode using 'Create New Blank notebook' from the command palette) and convert it to Markdown using python[3] -m nbconvert --to markdown path/to/post.ipynb. You can then copy the markdown content to the .Rmd file you just created and click 'Knit' (or rmarkdown::render("path/to/post.Rmd") from the console).

The blog is built by distill for RMarkdown, which is like blogdown but optimized for scientific publishing.
