buildSingleRepoBook: Build a gitbook from a skeleton repo and single package

In seandavi/CollaborativeBookdown: Utilities and documentation for building collaborative bookdown materials

Description

A desirable functionality when building a collaborative bookdown book is the ability to build single chapters without having to build all chapters. This function needs a bookdown "book_repo" that contains the bookdown skeleton and the repo (just the repo, not the URL) for the "chapter package".

Usage

buildSingleRepoBook(book_repo, book_path, pkg_repo)

Arguments

book_repo	characterr(1) the URL of the book repo; this will be cloned with git, so make sure that is exptected to work.
book_path	character(1) Clone into this path
pkg_rep	character(1) This is NOT a URL, but a string that is compatible with BiocManager::install.

Details

Steps involved are:

• Clone the book repo (must not exist)

• Change into the book repo directory

• Install (and capture output) the "chapter package", including building the vignette locally.

• Copy the installed Rmd file into the current directory

• Build the pdf, epub, and gitbook

• change back into the original directory
