Publishing Quarto Dashboards for FREE using GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages

In this video, we'll walk step-by-step through the process of creating and publishing a dashboard using Quarto, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Pages. In this video, we'll learn how to automate updates on a schedule of our choosing, manage R packages with renv, add custom theming, and leverage GitHub Actions for a seamless workflow without the need to ever render anything locally.
This video is video #1 of a six-video series (there's only six, not seven, oops - I misspoke in the video intro) aimed at making complex dashboard projects accessible and reproducible.

Super cool tutorial. a few comments if I may. One in the next one tackle what happens if you have 2 git hub accounts :) one in RStudio one in VS code and then the nightmare to debug that. Sure not everyone will have 4 users but just in case they do it is a cool thing to mention:) two when i looke at your initial _quarto.yml and the end product with the website: title: "Spotify Dashboard" favicon: images/logo.png page-navigation: true this is a big change on how the dashboard looked. I could not figure out for a long time why is my logo not appearing. So make sure that if you do upgrade the final product that the rest of us who bit by bit are following you get the same results. Thanks again for the tutorial super duper work.

The fact that you taped that approx. 2 weeks ago also shows the amount of work you put only for the educational aspect, so kudos for that and thank you.

@@djangoworldwide7925 This project definitely took longer than I expected it to! 😅 Good eyes on catching that! The educational aspect is the most fun part for me (hopefully I can save someone else some time!!), thank you for watching :)
