Section B.6 Publishing an R Markdown file

When our document is ready, or "refrigerator-worthy" as I’d call it, we can move a little to the right of the knit button to the "Publish" button. A popup will appear with options on where to publish, and I recommend using "Posit Connect". This is a free hosting website dedicated to sharing R documents (like this). In my family we have a saying:
"If it’s for free, it’s for me!"
Assuming you do not already have an account, you will sign up for one, input your credentials when prompted, and boom! You will now have your R Markdown file on Posit Connect under your account, with a link that you can share with whomever you’d like. With the link, you are now a R Markdown author!
