CODE EXAMPLE FOR SHELL

Use R markdown in github README

Create a new repo on github

Using R studio
	File > New Project > Version Control > Git
    Paste the repo url from github
    
    Create a new file
    	File > New > Markdown
        Change 'output=html_document' to 'output=github_document'
        Knit the document
        	
    Using the git window, commit .md (and not the .rmd) file
    
NOTE:
For rmd scripts with graphs, knitting will produce <filename>.md and <filename>.docs

Include both files in the repo and the .md will pull the graphs from .docs file when rendering
