How do I update my website using Qarto and RStudio?

[cement-head]

Description

I don't understand how to update my website at GitHub. I managed (surprised myself) in somehow setting up the repository and getting it published to that GitHub repository. When i make changes to the local files in RStudio, I'd like to be able to push from my local machine to the GitHub and have the website updated.

I have no idea how to do this - is there a HOWTO for this procedure?

Are you talking about using GitHub + Git + RStudio?

Did you read the documentation? https://quarto.org/docs/publishing/index.html

[cement-head]

Yes, and I did not understand it.

If you don't know about it, this online book is a great place to start to get started with Git + Github + RStudio / R: https://happygitwithr.com/

For the rest, this is Github Pages deployment, we explain a little in: https://quarto.org/docs/publishing/github-pages.html

Hmm, I switiched to Quarto Pub - seems much simpler for what I need (static website).

Awesome!

Check also Posit Connect cloud, which has nice deployment options: https://connect.posit.cloud/

I found this site very helpful as I linked my Quarto project to a GitHub repository: (https://ucsb-meds.github.io/creating-quarto-websites/)
