When creating a .md file for the _post folder of github pages with rstudio, the graphics generated with the R commands should be inserted one by one via the command:
Or is there any way to automatically render generated graphics without creating a command for each?
Thank you in advance!
There is a very easy way to do this: put the figure codes (in R) in a rmarkdown (rmd) file and compile it to Github markdown format .
Just to give you an example, let's create a file in rstudio from a template compatible with Github Flavored Markdown (I'll refer to it as GFM).
Thefilecreatedisasfollows:
---title:"Untitled"
output: github_document
---
'''{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
'''
## GitHub Documents
This is an R Markdown format used for publishing markdown documents to GitHub. When you click the **Knit** button all R code chunks are run and a markdown file (.md) suitable for publishing to GitHub is generated.
## Including Code
You can include R code in the document as follows:
'''{r cars}
summary(cars)
'''
## Including Plots
You can also embed plots, for example:
'''{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
'''
Note that the 'echo = FALSE' parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
See that there is a plot with the command:
plot(pressure)
Click the knit button
The file will be compiled for markdown, in the appropriate format for Github.

You can generate as many pictures as you want from the codes in R that markdown files will present the pictures appropriately. It is important to note that after compilation, RStudio creates a folder in place with all the figures referenced in markdown, such that if you use this feature in Github Pages you should upload the folder as well.
