Discussing the new package `renv` #6

Open njtierney opened 4 years ago

renv seems like a great way to handle portability of projects while maintaining current R package versions,

Have people used it in the group, and if so, would they be interested in sharing their experience?

Note to self: So, renv preserves the package versions, when you run it again. It can be on a different machine. Docker makes sure that the results are the same even if the underlying system is different, eg: Linux or Mac, different R versions
