scaffold {renv}

Generate project infrastructure

Description

Create the renv project infrastructure. This will:

• Create a project library, renv/library.

• Install renv into the project library.

• Update the project .Rprofile to call source("renv/activate.R") so that renv is automatically loaded for new R sessions launched in this project.

• Create renv/.gitignore, which tells git to ignore the project library.

• Create .Rbuildignore, if the project is also a package. This tells ⁠R CMD build⁠ to ignore the renv infrastructure,

• Write a (bare) lockfile, renv.lock.

Usage

scaffold(
  project = NULL,
  version = NULL,
  repos = getOption("repos"),
  settings = NULL
)

Arguments

project

The project directory. If NULL, then the active project will be used. If no project is currently active, then the current working directory is used instead.

version

The version of renv to associate with this project. By default, the version of renv currently installed is used.

repos

The R repositories to associate with this project.

settings

A list of renv settings, to be applied to the project after creation. These should map setting names to the desired values. See settings for more details.

Examples
