rpkgs (in GitHub via hadley/r-pkgs) is the source (text + examples) for the book R Packages by Hadley Wickham and Jenny Bryan. The book teaches how to develop, document, test, and share R packages: the practices, tools, infrastructure, workflows, and best practices around package development in R. The repository contains the code, text, site content for building the book, examples, exercises, etc. It is not a software library to be loaded in R (except perhaps the examples), but a resource/guide/manual. The first edition is no longer available online. A second edition is under development and available.
Features
- Instructional content covering how to structure R packages (directories, dependencies, namespace, versioning etc.)

- Built using Quarto / site generation tools for book / web content so includes configuration, site setup etc.
