This is my first deployed website, which is made in R via Quarto.


## Steps of making a Quarto website


### In RStudio

**1. Create a `New Directory` in RStudio**

**4. Rename the default `_site` folder to `docs`.**


**5. in `_quarto.yml`, add a line `output-dir: docs`**

**6. add a `.nojekyll` file to the root of your repository**

It tells GitHub Pages not to do additional processing of your published site using Jekyll.

## For Windows

```{r filename="Terminal"}
#| eval: false

touch .nojekyll
```


## For Mac/Linux

```{r filename="Terminal"}
#| eval: false

copy NUL .nojekyll
```

### In GitHub

1. Create a new repository.

2. Push the local snapshot to Github.

3. Configure your GitHub repository to publish from the `docs` directory of your `main` branch:

Once you’ve made this configuration change GitHub will trigger a deployment of your website. Your site will also be updated whenever you commit and push to main.
