Task: Serve your website using Netlify

Instructions

  • Find the project and its _site directory on your computer.
    • The Files tab within RStudio shows you the project path. Locate this folder in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS).
  • Search online for ‘netlify drop’
  • Drag and drop the _site folder there.

Optional: If want to keep the site for longer than 1h

  • Create a Netlify account (GitHub authentication is convenient). Claim the site.

  • Give it a better URL, e.g., yourname.netlify.app.

    • Site settings - General - Change site name.

    • FYI, custom domains, so getting rid of the trailing netlify.app cost around £20-30 per year.
