Programmatic Deployment to RStudio Connect Using Jenkins + GitHub

Link to Jenkins + GitHub Webhooks Blog

What are we trying to build? - I have a data product (in this case a shiny application) deployed to my RStudio Connect server. I also have a GitHub repository for the application where I’ve version controlled the app code. I want to link and automate the application update process with my GitHub workflow, i.e. every time I push a code change to GitHub, I’d like the deployed application on Connect to automatically be updated with those changes.
