Add 'Git' Links to Your Web Based Assets.

gitlink

Include useful GitHub links in your Shiny applications and R Markdown documents quickly and easily with the gitlink package!

For example,

# note that this does not actually work for pure markdown documents like this README
ribbon_css("https://github.com/colearendt/gitlink")

Getting Started

The package can be installed from CRAN:

install.packages("gitlink")

Or you can install the latest development version with:

devtools::install_github("colearendt/gitlink")

The ribbon_css function is highly customizable, as you can set any color, font, font-size, or other CSS properties with the parameters provided.

For example:

  ribbon_css("mylink.com", position = "left")
  ribbon_css("mylink.com", color = "black", font_color = "white", border_color = "white")
  ribbon_css("mylink.com", text = "Fork me PLEASE", fade = FALSE)

For more advanced examples, see ?ribbon_css
