+# Template project for Advanced Programming [](../../actions/workflows/check-qmd-render.yaml)
+
+The template project has the following files:
+
+- `README.md`: this file.
+- `data/`: a folder for data files.
+- `.gitignore`: a file that tells git which files to ignore.
+- `slides.qmd`: a presentation in quarto format.
+- `report.qmd`: a report in quarto format.
+- `.github/workflows/check-qmd-render.yaml`: The workflow that builds the html and pdf files. New dependencies can be added on the step "Install dependencies"; the following installs the R packages data.table and slurmR from CRAN:
+
+ ```yaml
+ - name: Install dependencies
+ run: |
+ install2.r data.table slurmR
+ ```
+
+ This workflow should complete without errors before you submit your project.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Use the qmd files to write your report and slides.
+
+2. Add any needed files (figures, C++, data, etc.) to the repository.
+
+2. If needed, add additional dependencies to the workflow file.
+
+3. Ensure the [report.pdf](report.pdf) and [slides.html](slides.html) files are generated.
