Version Control

Version controlling enables the archiving of every change made to the vignettes, functions, and metadata of your package. You should always version control your code, and it’s very easy to version control your package using git. Once git is installed, RStudio provides a very intuitive interface to it. Please refer to Hadley Wickham’s R packages for a quick guide to using git in conjunction with an R package (in the Best practices section at the end). A good set of tips and guidelines can also be found on the RStudio support page HERE.
