bootstrapper

The goal of bootstrapper is to quickly setup a modern R package with appropriate actions and assorted setup. Mostly for my own usage, pretty opinionated.

Installation

You can install the development version of bootstrapper like so:

pak::pak("VisruthSK/bootstrapper")

Usage

The package is optimized for my usage by default, so calling the main function bare is not advised unless you are me. You should call it in a directory which is already tracked by git and already has GitHub as a remote.

bootstrapper::bootstrapper()

The main thing to set is the fields option, where you should put your own name, email, etc. instead.

bootstrapper::bootstrapper(
  fields = list(
    "Authors@R" = person(
      "Visruth",
      "Srimath Kandali",
      ,
      "public@visruth.com",
      role = c("aut", "cre", "cph"),
      comment = c(ORCID = "0009-0005-9097-0688")
    )
  )
)

There are some flags you can set to flip on/off certain features like publishing the repository as private/public on GitHub, copying over some GitHub Actions, using Dependabot for GHA, an AGENTS.md file, and a precommit hook for air and jarl formatting.
