blogscapes

blogscapes provides tools for crossposting Openscapes blog content between Openscapes repositories: pulling a draft from a Google Doc, verifying a post's images are self-contained, copying the post folder into one or more destination repos, and opening a pull request for each copy.

Status

⚠️ blogscapes is under active development. The core workflow is in place but still evolving based on team feedback, so expect changes to function interfaces before the first stable release.

Installation

You can install the development version of blogscapes from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("Openscapes/blogscapes")

Example

A typical crossposting session:

library(blogscapes)

# Pull a Google Doc draft into a new post folder as index.qmd
google_doc_to_qmd(
  doc = "https://docs.google.com/document/d/FILE_ID/edit",
  post_name = "2026-10-12-my-title",
  blog_dir = "website-new/blog"
)

# Check the post's images are self-contained before copying it anywhere
verify_post_images("website-new/blog/2026-10-12-my-title")

# Copy the post folder into one or more destination repos
targets <- crosspost_blog(
  post = "website-new/blog/2026-10-12-my-title",
  root = "~/Documents/repos/github/openscapes/crossposting",
  destinations = c(
    nasa = "NASA-Openscapes.github.io/news",
    nmfs = "nmfs-openscapes.github.io/blog"
  )
)

# Branch, commit, push, and open a PR in each destination repo
open_crosspost_prs(targets, branch = "crosspost-2026-10-12-my-title")
