prodigenr (development version)

CRAN release: 2024-12-13

New projects have Git added from the beginning, so don’t need to use setup_with_git() (#148).
rmarkdown::draft() can’t have Quarto docs in the template/ folders, so instead move them as generic Quarto template files.
Rename doc/ to docs/ in the basic analysis project folder. This is to match the semantics that the docs/ folder usually will have more than one document in it (#149).
It isn’t always useful to have the report created when the project is setup, so adding the report via create_report() is removed from project_setup() (#142).
Use Quarto instead of R Markdown for template files (#150).

When creating a new .gitignore, include .quarto and .DS_Store files (#141) as well as .Rbuildignore files (#143).
New projects have .Rproj set with same options as usethis::use_blank_slate("project") (#144).
Move gert to imports, since it makes more sense that it should be a hard dependency as the project is an opinionated project creator (#145).

The title field in the DESCRIPTION file is needed by many usethis functions, so it is added to the created DESCRIPTION file (#137).

CRAN release: 2022-08-29

Removed Distill from imports and from created report, switching to using Quarto instead (e.g. with YAML metadata).
Removed AppVeyor.
Rearranged project creation to copy an internal folder (with necessary files) into the specified folder on the users computer. This hopefully will make it easier to add other templates later on.
Updated package aims to be clearer and more focused.
Fixes to CRAN notes about HTML5.

CRAN release: 2021-06-02

CRAN release: 2021-05-12

Removed abstract and poster templates. Abstracts are so small it isn’t an important addition and (I sense) posters will for a while be created with other software tools (e.g. PowerPoint). Plus there aren’t many mature and well-established poster packages in R at this point in time.
Tidied up and trim down all the README files and include pointers to the prodigenr online documentation instead.
Removed R script template files. Projects might be too diverse for these template scripts to make sense.
Removed several dependencies, including the usethis package.
Moved Git initialization setup out into new function called setup_with_git().

CRAN release: 2019-07-01

Can now use RStudio’s “New Project” interface for a GUI creation of the project (#109, #111)
Setup projects to be “blank slates” (i.e. don’t save .RData) (#105)
Add TODO list to project to complete after project creation (#39)

CRAN release: 2018-05-23

Use R Markdown template files to draft the posters, slides, manuscripts, and abstract (#70, #75). See create_* type commands.
New function to setup a general project, but excluding the individual document types such manuscript, slides, etc (#72). prodigen function is deprecated.
READMEs in each folder and section to fill out in main README for the project description (#38, #80).

CRAN release: 2016-07-29

prodigen() now creates a new project structure that mimics R package development more, specifically devtools (since it is well documented and actively maintained) (#18, #15, #14). The old style has been removed.
Added a function to include a STROBE checklist for reporting guidelines (#21).
Added function to include an rfigshare script to send to figshare (#19).
Added function to include a more complete MIT license (#20).

CRAN release: 2016-05-14

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Fixed a bug that prevented an .Rproj file and the .Rprofile files from being installed and created.
