\usage{
init_site(pkg = ".")

\arguments{
\item{pkg}{Path to package.}
}
\description{
This creates the output directory (\verb{docs/}), a machine readable description
of the site, and copies CSS/JS assets and extra files.
}
\section{Build-ignored files}{

We recommend using \code{\link[usethis:use_pkgdown]{usethis::use_pkgdown()}} to build-ignore \verb{docs/} and
\verb{_pkgdown.yml}. If use another directory, or create the site manually,
you'll need to add them to \code{.Rbuildignore} yourself. A \code{NOTE} about
an unexpected file during \verb{R CMD CHECK} is an indication you have not
correctly ignored these files.
}

\section{Custom CSS/JS}{

If you want to do minor customisation of your pkgdown site, the easiest
way is to add \code{pkgdown/extra.css} and \code{pkgdown/extra.js}. These
will be automatically copied to \verb{docs/} and inserted into the
\verb{<HEAD>} after the default pkgdown CSS and JS.
}

\section{Favicon}{

Favicons are built automatically from a logo PNG or SVG by \code{\link[=init_site]{init_site()}} and
copied to \code{pkgdown/favicon}.
}

\section{404}{

pkgdown creates a default 404 page (\verb{404.html}). You can customize 404
page content using \verb{.github/404.md}.
