To publish your content using Bookdown, utilize GitHub Pages by following the repository setup instructions. Note that Bookdown is a prerequisite for Coursera and Leanpub publishing. You must publish with Bookdown before using those platforms.
As you add or rename chapters, update _bookdown.yml accordingly. For example, after adding 03-new_chapter_of_course.Rmd:
Only a single line changes. Be careful with quotation marks ("") and commas (,).
Preview the book by running bookdown::serve_book() in the RStudio Console. This generates an .rds file you can ignore. The live preview will appear in your RStudio Viewer.
When a pull request is merged to main, GitHub Actions will re-run bookdown::render_book() and add the results to main.
