I'm playing around with bookdown and it's awesome. @jennybc and I want to use it and have it ready for the upcoming useR.

I just read the section on publishing with GitHub and I'm a bit confused and not exactly sure how it works. It would be very helpful IMO if there was an example github repository that was set up to serve a bookdown book so that we can see how everything should look.

The part I'm mostly confused about is that currently the entire book project is a repository: link. But the actual book HTML is inside the _book. folder, so in order to actually access the book, I need to go to daattali.github.io/happy-git-with-r/_book

Can we have one repo that contains both the book metadata and source and HTML output? I also wasn't sure if the .nojekyll file should go in the root dir or in the _book dir.

I hope these questions make sense!
