Marinating the meat

1. Start an R session in this directory (06-custom)

   • RStudio users, open the *.Rproj file in this directory

2. Build the project:

   remake::make()

3. Fetch the ragout:

   remake::fetch("ragout")

4. Let remake know the location of your source files by adding the following at the top or bottom of your remake.yml file:

   sources:
   - R
   
   

5. Use marinated meat instead of raw meat for frying, using the default setting for the time argument.

   • Hint: You need to add a new target and change an existing rule.

6. Build the project, wait for the marination to complete.

7. Build the project again. Why is this so much faster now?

8. Edit steps.R to set a default marination time of 5 seconds.

9. Build the project again. How does remake know what to do?
