Welcome to SC_CPC_workshop! I (Kevin) really appreciate your contributions to this project and help me in experimenting with the Google Cloud!

Basic changes by a workshop developer

As a member of SydneyBioX, you should be able to make commits and push to SydneyBioX/SC_CPC_workshop. If you want to contribute to the workshop, you need to:

• Make local changes to .Rmd and locally build the website via rmarkdown::render_site() when are at the root directory.
• Commit and push.

And that is it! The push to SydneyBioX/SC_CPC_workshop will then trigger a new Docker build in Google Cloud, you do not have to worry about anything.

Making advanced changes

Say, during one of your updates, you realised that:

• you wanted to use a new package: then just add an extra line of installation instruction in install.R.
• you wanted to add a new dataset: then just place the data in the data/ folder and notify Kevin.

Any other more advanced changes should go through Kevin (or whoever the workshop administrator). This is because these changes will likely involve a reconfiguration of the Google Cloud pipeline.

A major advantage of this pipeline is that you should be able to just make contributions to this workshop and let whoever is in charge worry about the deployment issues.
