Sharing R Markdown Documents

We recommend the following websites for sharing the HTML files that you produce from R Markdown documents. If you’ve taken The Data Scientist’s Toolbox then you should be familiar with GitHub Pages. If you’re familiar with Git and you haven’t used it before their documentation for creating a site is very straightforward. If you’re not familiar with Git and you’re using RStudio you should take advantage of RPubs, which is perhaps the easiest way to share an HTML document from RStudio. You can find simple instructions for using RPubs here. If you’re looking for a site that will host any HTML file for free, including HTML files that are generated by R Markdown, you should check out NeoCities. You’ll need to provide links to HTML files you’ve created with R Makrdown in upcoming peer assessments, so make sure to familiarize yourself with one of these sites.
