Before commiting changes run devtools::check() to build the package and check for many common problems. Also run pkgdown::build_site() in order to check that the package website can be built without errors.

Travis-CI will automatically run devtools::check(), rebuild the package website and analyse test coverage each time a commit is pushed to Github. However, it will only push changes to the gh-pages branch, so it's important that you run devtools::check() manually in order to update the package help pages and NAMESPACE.

You should read the following excellent books about developing R packages (both of which happen to be written by Hadley Wickham):

• R packages
• Advanced R

If you want to update the package's website, then read the pkgdown documentation.

To build a PDF version of any vignette replace the line output: rmarkdown::html_vignette with the following:

output:

     latex_engine: xelatex

Use devtools::build_manual() to compile the package help pages into a PDF document.
