greta.template

This is an empty repository to help you build an extension to greta. It’s a GitHub template repository, so you can make a copy to build your extension from by following these steps:

1. Click Use this template to the left of Clone or download.
2. Give this repo a new name (preferably greta.<something>) and create a new repo in your account.
3. Clone the repository and start filling out all the fields to make the package your own. See Jenny Bryan’s Happy Git with R if you’d like some help with this.

Please don’t hit the fork button, that would make a permanent link between your repository and this one!

to do list

Here’s a list of things to do once you’ve made a copy of the template, to make sure the package is ship-shape. Maybe take a look at the corresponding parts of greta or tensorflow if you need inspiration or text to copy and adapt!

• Pick a package name (preferably with ‘greta.’ at the beginning). Update the package name in:
  • the ‘Package’ field in DESCRIPTION
  • the library() and test_check() calls in tests/testthat.R
  • in the @name documentation field in R/package.R
  • at the top of README.Rmd
  • the repo name (if it changed since you made it)
  • the R project file; rename it from greta.template.Rproj to greta.<something>.Rproj
• Come up with a helpful package title. Add it to:
  • the ‘Title’ field in DESCRIPTION
  • the @title documentation field in R/package.R
  • at the top of your GitHub repo
• Fill in the the author details in DESCRIPTION
• Update the ‘URL’ and ‘BugReports’ fields in DESCRIPTION to point to your repo
• Decide what sort of license you want to use for your package (you are completely free to change the CC0 license in the template). See https://choosealicense.com or r-pkgs.org for help choosing.
  • create the license file and edit the ‘License’ field in DESCRIPTION (e.g. with the usethis package)
• Write short paragraph describing the package. Copy it to:
  • the ‘Description’ field of DESCRIPTION
  • the @description documentation field of R/package.R
• add a github actions badge with use_github_actions_badge()
• edit the codecov badge in README.Rmd to point to your package
• Write a simple example introducing the package and add it to R/package.R
• Update README.Rmd to sell to people with a sales pitch and maybe an example that creates a figure, to get people excited about your package.
• Start adding functions, documentation and examples to new R files in R folder
• Write some unit tests for these functions in the tests/testthat folder
• Delete the example function and test files R/square.R and tests/testthat/test-square.R
