# Quarto Codespaces

[![Build](https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-codespaces/actions/workflows/devcontainer.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-codespaces/actions/workflows/devcontainer.yml)

Setup to deploy Codespaces or Devcontainers with Quarto.

## Overview

This repository provides a setup to deploy Codespaces or Devcontainers with Quarto, supporting R, Python, and Julia environments.
It includes configuration files and scripts to initialise and manage these environments.

## Using as a Template

You can use this repository as a template for your own projects.
To do so, click the "Use this template" button on the GitHub repository page.
This will create a new repository with the same files and structure.

## Using with Codespaces

This repository is configured to work with GitHub Codespaces.
To use it, follow these steps:

1. Open the repository on GitHub.
2. Click the "Code" button and select "Open with Codespaces".
3. If you don't have a Codespace already, create a new one.
4. The Codespace will be set up automatically using the configuration provided in this repository.

## Devcontainer Configuration

The Dev Container configuration is located in [`.github/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`](.github/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json).
This file defines the development container settings, including the base image, user settings, and features to be installed.

### Key Features

- **Base Image**: The container uses the `buildpack-deps:jammy-curl` image as the base.
- **Remote User**: The default user is set to `vscode`.
- **Installed Features**:
- Common utilities with Zsh shell.
- Latest Git version.
- R environment with `renv` support and `rmarkdown`.
- Latest Python version with shared libraries and `jupyter`.
- Julia environment with the latest release channel and `IJulia`.
- Quarto CLI with TinyTeX installed.

### Docker Image

The Dev Container configuration is used to build a Docker image that is available for use.
You can pull the latest image using the following command:

```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/mcanouil/quarto-codespaces:latest
```

## Initialisation Script

The initialisation script [init.sh](init.sh) is used to set up the R, Python, and Julia environments.
It supports initialising all environments or specific ones based on the provided options.

### Usage

```sh
./init.sh [--what/-w all|r|python|julia] [--force/-f] [--help/-h]
```

### Script Details

- **Options**:
- `--what/-w`: Specify which environment(s) to initialise (`all`, `r`, `python`, `julia`).
- `--force/-f`: Force reinstallation of the specified environment(s).
- `--help/-h`: Display help message and exit.
- **Functionality**: The script installs necessary dependencies for R, Python, and Julia, inside environments.
- For R, it sets up `renv` and installs required packages.
- For Python, it sets up a virtual environment and installs required libraries.
- For Julia, it sets up an environment and installs required packages.
