jsta/gh_cran_portfolio repository overview

⁠Github CRAN Portfolio

Are pinned 6 pinned Github repositories not enough for you? Do you wish repositories could be tagged with more than one language/framework?

This hugo based, #rstats blogdown, template lets you create your own sorted dashboard for programming projects and CRAN packages. It leverages the ghrecipes package and tools::CRAN_package_db() to search for projects (You can also define your own custom projects). The default tile image is an svg of the project name, but you can also define a custom image. The official hex sticker for a package will be used if an image exists in the Github repo linked to the CRAN URL at man/figures/logo.png.

⁠Dependencies

See Dockerfile⁠.

⁠Usage

⁠Workflow
