I am currently working on a private data repository on GitHub, but keep running into an issue with the documentation that comes up when searching ??myRepository.

I have a folder called man in my data repository that stores all the .Rd files that show up on the help(myRepository), and have 2 .Rmd files in my vignette folder that I would like to add to the documentation in .Rd format.

I have two questions:

  1. How to I convert .Rmd files into .Rd files?
  2. Is there a way I can override the automatically generated .Rd files and upload my own documentations using the Rmd files in my vignette folder?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    Since you have .Rd files, are you making a package? If so I'd recommend using `roxygen2`. If you are already using this package already, I've only seen people make and document their functions in `.R` files. And finally, can you be more specific about the exact issue you are running into? – Justin Landis May 18 '21 at 19:01
  • Yes, I am making it into a data package. My issue is that I already have the documentation created in .Rmd format, but that's not showing up when I search up my package using help(). I need the .Rmd files in the vignettes folder to be re-created as .Rd files in my man folder – starbuckslychee May 18 '21 at 19:34
