R Config Directory

~/.config/R/* Contents

See also:

• jimbrig/configR: an R package meant to support a setup like this.
• jimbrig/XDG_CONFIG_HOME_R: XDG Compliant R Configuration and Setup on Windows.

Customized Setup

I have placed all R specific configurations into my %HOME% path's .config\R directory and included the following contents:

• .Rprofile: Default .Rprofile startup file which calls all downstream actions (except for .Renviron which gets triggered first)

• .Renviron: Default .Renviron startup file excluding any sensitive secrets, which instead are included in a separate secrets.Renviron file.

• .Rhistory: Default .Rhistory file housing the R console history

• .radian_profile: Default radian terminal profile

• .radian_history: Default radian terminal console history

R Utilities and Scripts

Plus a variety of utility functions and scripts in the R directory:

• profile_functions.R: Custom utility functions loaded into a separate .rprofile environment after R loads.

• profile_options.R: Sets default options and sources all downstream profile_options_* files held in the R directory.

• profile_secrets.R: Loads environment variable contents from a separate secrets.Renviron file (gitignore'd from this repository).

• profile_settings.R: Customized settings for R such as auto-completion, history options, pak callback, start up prompt, etc.

• profile_shortcuts.R: Customized RStudio specific keyboard shortcuts.

• utils.R: core utility functions used during startup and ported into the .rprofile environment from .globalenv once startup is complete.
