Is renv compatible with .Rprofile customizations?

Well the answer to this one is definitely I don't know! 😂
Step one: a meta-suggestion, have you asked on community.rstudio.com? I know a bunch of folks there are frequent users.

Check out the Infrastructure section of Introduction to renv.

It sounds like renv creates a project-specific .Rprofile (which should be committed to your version control system) in order to fire up for the project. In general, .Rprofile customizations are not great for reproducibility (which is kind of renv's bailiwick)—see here in What They Forgot.

I'm gonna close this issue as I've reached the extent of my knowledge, and a more detailed answer from someone who knows more is better suited to community.rstudio.com.

Good luck!
