Dear all, As I resume my dissertation work next month, I'd like to actually start an R package this time around. I haven't done so because I update my code very often (still in development phase), so running the skeleton function, running checks, building, and re-installing the package onto the system seemed like a long and tedious process.
I would like to hear your experience on how you start an R package with a version control system. Currently, I have most of my functions in an R source file. I expect to use a skeleton function to generate the package directory (most likely Rcpp's), and start git as my version control system (although the advice I'm seeking isn't git-specific). Once the version control system is set up, a few questions: 1. Do you update your code directly into the multiple R files in ./src, or do you update the main R source file? I'm assuming the former since we're using version control. 2. What is your process for updating and testing your code? Do you run checks, build, and re-install the package to test? Or do you have some fancy workflow? Please share. Thanks for your advice.
