Description
In addition to the instructions at ?pkgdown::deploy_site_github, you need to ensure you can install apps on GitHub. For that, you need owner privilege to the repo you want to setup. Then travis::use_travis_deploy() should be able to install the required apps, and they should be able to build the website, even if other apps are restricted.
The package is linked to the “rtravis” application, and will request GitHub permissions to carry out its actions. We try hard to minimize the scope of the permissions we request, but this may lead to multiple authentication requests. Revoking these permissions also invalidates any SSH keys created by this package.
