Picking a style

See more about customizing style on this page in the guide.
By default this course template will use the jhudsl data science lab style. However, you can customize and switch this to another style set.

Using a style set

Read more about the style sets here.

• On a new branch, copy the style-sets/<set-name>/index.Rmd and style-sets/<set-name>/_output.yml to the top of the repository to overwrite the default index.Rmd and _output.yml.
• Copy over all the files in the style-sets/<set-name>/copy-to-assets to the assets folder in the top of the repository.
• Create a pull request with these changes, and double check the rendered preview to make sure that the style is what you are looking for.

Files that need to be edited upon adding new packages that the book's code uses:

• docker/Dockerfile needs to have the new package added so it will be installed. See instructions.
• The code chunk in index.Rmd should be edited to add the new package.
