init_site():

  • creates the output directory (docs/),

  • generates a machine readable description of the site, used for autolinking,

  • copies CSS/JS assets and extra files, and

  • runs build_favicons(), if needed.

See vignette("customise") for the various ways you can customise the display of your site.

Usage

init_site(pkg = ".")

Arguments

pkg

Path to package.

Build-ignored files

We recommend using usethis::use_pkgdown() to build-ignore docs/ and _pkgdown.yml. If use another directory, or create the site manually, you'll need to add them to .Rbuildignore yourself. A NOTE about an unexpected file during R CMD CHECK is an indication you have not correctly ignored these files.
