For adapting the workflow, I needed to easily create and update release from the workflow itself. Github CLI tool (https://cli.github.com/) comes in handy for such tasks, like managing Github Releases using gh release or making request with Github API using gh api . Github CLI is part of the pre-installed tools one can found in github-hosted runners. https://cderv.rbind.io/2021/10/11/signed-git-commit-with-keybase-and-gpg-on-windows-10/ Mon, 11 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/2021/10/11/signed-git-commit-with-keybase-and-gpg-on-windows-10/ Signing git commit is something that I have already done in the past following Github Documentation. However, last week I stumble upon Garrick’s post “Signed and verified: signed git commits with Keybase and RStudio” which explains how to use Keybase for signing commit for Mac OS. As often, following a tutorial for Windows user is not as easy. This post is about the step I used to make it happen on Windows 10. https://cderv.rbind.io/talk/2021-meetup-style-rmd/ Tue, 05 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/talk/2021-meetup-style-rmd/ Event Page: https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/RStudio-Enterprise-Community-Meetup/events/280078607/ Online slide: https://cderv.rbind.io/slides/meetup-rmd-style-business-report/ Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ9he9dyfGs Source Repo: https://github.com/cderv/meetup-2021-rmd-business-report/ fitvids('.shareagain', {players: 'iframe'}); https://cderv.rbind.io/talk/2021-user-extend-rmd/ Thu, 08 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/talk/2021-user-extend-rmd/ Online slides: https://cderv.rbind.io/slides/user2021-enhanced-rmd fitvids('.shareagain', {players: 'iframe'}); Pre-recorded talk: https://cderv.rbind.io/2021/06/29/fig-alt-appendix/ Tue, 29 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/2021/06/29/fig-alt-appendix/ Recently, I was pinged on Twitter about a ‘How to’ with rmarkdown and knitr Is there an existing function/structure to scrape the alt-text from knitr chunks in an Rmd? I want to collate the descriptions for an appendix for the pdf rendering.#Rstats @Rstudio — Dr Simonis (they/them) knows what chem weapons are (@JuniperLSimonis) June 26, 2021 Right, yes, those parts of knitr look very complicated to me! Perhaps @apreshill @chrisderv and @xieyihui could guide us on how to make that work for the alt text also. https://cderv.rbind.io/2021/06/25/new-old-blog/ Fri, 25 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/2021/06/25/new-old-blog/ A short story This is now real, I have officially make this blog no more “work in progress”. I initially created this blog in 2017 to follow a trend on the R community to have a blog. At the time, I was trying to contribute to Open Source on my free time and thought it could be good thing to have my own website. rbind.io organization was also a good opportunity to have a website with a cool url quickly setup: https://cderv. https://cderv.rbind.io/about/ Wed, 23 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/about/ Tl;DR: This is my personal website to share some finding, tips, tricks and my experience using R and its ecosystem. Longer story below… A bit of a story about where I come from regarding R My background is an Engineer, with a specialization in Energy & Economics. I found about R a some years ago now when I wanted to analyze data in another environment than Excel, the only tool my company provided as the time. https://cderv.rbind.io/talk/2021-raukr-boost-rmd/ Mon, 21 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/talk/2021-raukr-boost-rmd/ Online slide: https://cderv.rbind.io/slides/raukr-boost-rmd-skills Event website: https://nbisweden.github.io/workshop-RaukR-2106/ fitvids('.shareagain', {players: 'iframe'}); https://cderv.rbind.io/2018/03/11/non-english-pkg-in-cran/ Sun, 11 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/2018/03/11/non-english-pkg-in-cran/ Trying to figure out how encoding work in 📦 for writing french DESCRIPTION and manual files, I was wondering if others packages on CRAN as been wrote in French or any other non english language. library(tidyverse) Looking into the cran database First, we load the cran database with all information about description fields. We keep only some fields that can helps us look for not english packages. (For a list of all the fields meaning, read Writing R Extensions) https://cderv.rbind.io/2016/12/26/dowload.method/ Mon, 26 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://cderv.rbind.io/2016/12/26/dowload.method/ End 2016, Working on a PR for package remotes package, I looked into how download.file methods evolved with R version, trying to understand how it works depending on the OS or the url type. This post is my understanding at the time. It is an import of a gist I made in December 2016 with a small revamp. I did not have a blog at that time, so it was more some notes but I think it worth sharing.
