However, largely due to my inexpertise with git, I always find the initial set up a bit fiddly, and sensitive to the order in which things are done. Rstudio does an excellent job of enabling development of R packages with git, and syncing changes to github. your collaborators) – you don’t need to email them the package every time you update it, just let them know to re-install from github. Therefore github provides an excellent way to share your package with it’s users (e.g. With the excellent `devtools’ package, it is very easy to install R packages that are hosted on guthub from within R.It serves as an off site backup of your precious code.It is an appealing place to host an `in-development’ R package since: This enables the developer to easily revert back to a previous version of their code, should something go wrong. Github is web-hosted platform for sharing projects developed with the git versioning system (in particular this allows multiple developers to contribute to the same project, though that is generally beyond the scope of my work). These integrate into software projects to, among other things, record incremental changes at developer-chosen milestones. Oh and i use a metric fuckton of command line.Git is a `versioning’ or `revision control’ system.
The team im on uses rails for alot so i just got used to its addition in my workflow. Theres probably a better way but rails automates alot of the boring db engineering stuff and gives a separate admin platform from the shiny app if I want the shiny app to be user facing but not admin facing as happens sometimes. I also use rails for db management (development vs production) with heroku, then host the shiny app as a separate app on heroku connecting to those rails dbs.
Otherwise this is a DREAM develoment setup for me. And it makes git operations generally much much easier.īut sometimes is also causes weird hiccups that can take an hour or two to resolve, but at most thats once a month and usually caused by user error. It is fucking cool to edit in either program and switch to the other and have live updates. I use github desktop with RStudio (for real time troublehsooting) and VSC (for software engineering principles) with github desktop to develop RShiny dashboards.
