dual-code-repository-and-project-website

I really like the idea of using github or bitbucket for a dual code repository and project website
in Github I set up the master branch with the R package code
and set up the website using the gh-pages branch
it has to be called gh-pages, and add an index.html, it will appear at your-username.github.com/repo-name

Github

The best bit about doing this on github is that the R package “devtools” can be used to install the package (so long as you can compile the package)
on windows you may need to install Rtools and configure the path

R Code: install_github

require(devtools)
install_github("repo-name", "github-account-name")

Bitbucket

I recently took these notes about setting up a website on Bitbucket
I am not sure about how this would work for R packages (the devtools installer mentioned above is a great tool for developing)
but with unlimited private repositories this seems like a good platform for my “open notebook - selected content” (I need to be selective about what I share and what I keep restricted access only)
the page is available for “your-account”.bitbucket.org
create a new repo on the web UI
I kept the repo private, but the pages will be public,
added issue tracking and Wiki

using git shell

mkdir ~/projects/your-account.bitbucket.org
cd ~/projects/your-account.bitbucket.org
git init
git remote add origin ssh://git@bitbucket.org/your-account/your-account.bitbucket.org.git
touch index.org
# use emacs to make changes and publish the html (C-c C-e h)
 
git commit -m "First commit"
git push -u origin master
