I feel I saw quite a few toots about the Internet Archive recently.

Anyone willing to take over the {internetarchive} #RStats package, API client to the internet archive?

New post about Git: "The two phases of commits in a Git branch", about the workflow I'm practicing these days:

👩‍🍳 Setup: create a Git branch for a feature/bug fix;
🙈 Phase 1: Git commits as a messy back-up;
🧙‍♀️ Phase 2: Cleaning up the Git commits with rebase and friends.

Seeing an error from #RStats package B in your package A's check results, when your package A doesn't have a direct dependency on B, and wondering where in the dependency tree of A B is? 😖

Don't be like me, use pak::pak_deps_explain() right away! It explains how a package depends on other packages. 👌

I received a physical copy of the "R Packages" book by @hadleywickham & @jennybryan yesterday! 📦 🎉

I was pleased to see that Maëlle Salmon recommends it. 😂 (I really do!)

You can also read it for free at https://r-pkgs.org/

Back cover of the "R Packages" book including this quote of myself "A stellar reference book for package development beginners as well as more experienced folks who are curious about the fantastic devtools ecosystem"

TIL #RStats has a function called apropos(), in the {utils} package. 👀

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/apropos.html

For instance since my .Rprofile loads {usethis}, apropos("^use_", ignore.case = FALSE) returns the names of many, many functions.

Sometimes, when debugging, I create files and folders in my current directory, than I then need to delete. 😑

Nowadays instead of deleting them manually, I use git clean. 🧼 ✨

Try out git clean with this small exercise in {saperlipopette}: https://maelle.github.io/saperlipopette/reference/exo_clean_dir.html

ICYMI, desc::desc_normalize()

✅ Re-formats and re-orders fields in DESCRIPTION in a standard way.
✅Reorders the packages alphabetically.

Downside: you might be a little bit annoyed when you encounter DESCRIPTION files with fields in a different order. 🤪
