Enhancing R Dev Env Container is the continuation of R Dev Env project. The last year Project consist tech stack like Linux, Bash, Docker, Github Actions and Mkdocs for Documentation. The Enhancing R Dev Env Container will be focused on adapting R Contributor Workflow with Gitpod a free and open source cloud development tool and also setting up RStudio IDE as an alternative too. The project is focused on streamlining R contributors workflow so that r-base contributors have to think less about setting up development environment and do more impactful contribution. The Project deliverables are broken down into 3 parts Gitpod, Documentation and Adapting Contributor Workflow with RStudio IDE, alternative to VSCode. The Coding period will be started with structuring and configuring Gitpod and on the way Documentation part will be done. And final part will be accomplishing Adapting R contributor Workflow with RStudio IDE.
