Here, I add a
README.Rmd
, which is common practice in many other R packages: https://github.com/tidyverse/dplyr/blob/main/README.RmdThe benefit of this, is that the
.Rmd
will automatically render any code examples we provide, which can be helpful for users to see how things work (and can also serve as a very basic integration test)A drawback is that we need to remember to re-knit the
README.Rmd
to ensure it stays up to date (this could also in theory be automated with a GH action, but I don't have the energy to do that right now 😊 )
