# r-package-skeleton

This is for a 2017 SCUG class scheduled for two 1-hour SCUG meetings.

Creating a minimal R package: initializing package skeleton

===========

1. We’ll establish a minimal R package that serves as a stable platform for you to deploy your own functions to multiple projects and people.  

1. In the first meeting (on March 7),

    * I hope to get through the steps described here: https://github.com/wibeasley/r-package-skeleton/blob/master/documentation-for-developers/initializing-package.md

    * In the middle of the first meeting, we’ll spend 15 minutes on branching, merging, and rebasing Git repositories.  Software developers use this approach to (a) isolate beta features from a stable master branch, and (b) facilitate work across multiple developers in parallel.  We'll work from https://github.com/wibeasley/class-branching.

1. For the second meeting (April 4),

    * you’ll add your own functions to the package, and we’ll tackle some tricky problems together.

    * We’ll cover more complicated branching/rebasing scenarios

1. For both meetings,

    * please bring your laptops,

    * ideally with the prerequisite software installed (ie, R, RStudio, RTools, & GitHub Desktop): https://github.com/wibeasley/r-package-skeleton/blob/master/documentation-for-developers/initializing-package.md#prerequisites

1. This hands-on discussion follows the material in two repos:

    * https://github.com/wibeasley/r-package-skeleton

    * https://github.com/wibeasley/class-branching.
