Auditing

In addition to using repositories, containers, modules and the like to manage software versions, sometimes it is nice to simply dump a snapshot of current R software to a text file. It is not a bad idea to do so for every workflow version you run - much as you might establish logging.

Keep in mind this is not version control - it's just a simple record of packages installed and a few other bits of information.

charlier::audit(filename = "~/my_audit.txt")

Here's an snippet of the first dozen lines...
