ggplot2
An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics in R
ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science. -

R Source
Read-only mirror of R source code
The wch/r-source repository is a read-only mirror of the official R language source code, maintained to reflect the upstream Subversion (SVN) R core development tree. This mirror provides public visibility into R’s internals—everything from the interpreter, base and recommended packages, documentation, and C/Fortran code under the hood. It is updated hourly to stay in sync with the upstream SVN. Although it mirrors the R source for browsing and reference, it is not the “canonical development repo* (i.e. you can’t submit pull requests via that mirror). The repository includes build instructions, the full directory structure (src, src/library, doc, etc.), licensing information (GPL-2.0), and documentation. Developers, package authors, and curious users often browse this mirror to inspect implementation details, debug issues, or see how base functions are implemented in C or Fortran. -

RStudio Cheatsheets
Curated collection of official cheat sheets for data science tools
The cheatsheets repository from RStudio is a curated collection of official cheat sheets for R, RStudio, the tidyverse, Shiny, and related data science tools. Each cheat sheet is a single (or double) page PDF that condenses important syntax, functions, workflows, and best practices into a visually organized format ideal for quick reference. The repository contains source files (R Markdown or LaTeX) that generate the cheat sheets, version history, and metadata (title, author, description) for each. It covers topics such as data wrangling, data import, modeling, visualization, RStudio IDE shortcuts, Shiny development, and the tidyverse suite (dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, purrr). These cheat sheets are widely used by R learners, educators, and practitioners as quick reference tools, and they often ship with RStudio by default or are linked from RStudio’s help/documentation pages. Users can also contribute new cheat sheet proposals, corrections, or translations via pull requests. -

TinyTeX
Cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution
A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. TinyTeX, is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size but still functions well in most cases. Even if you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it should be super clear to you what you need to do. In fact, if you are an R Markdown user, there is nothing you need to do, because missing packages will just be installed automatically. You may not even know the existence of LaTeX at all since it should rarely bother you. Currently, TinyTeX works best for R users. Other users can use it, too—it is just that missing LaTeX packages won’t be automatically installed, and you need to install them manually. Or you can go to the extreme to install all packages, but remember there are thousands of them. -
