RStudio Project

The best way to organise a project is using an RStudio Project.

An RStudio Project creates a self-contained, portable project.

It makes working with file paths easier

No more absolute file paths using setwd(), that will break on any other computer.

File paths only need to be relative to the project root.

An organized kitchen with sections labeled "tools", "report" and "files", while a monster in a chefs hat stirs in a bowl labeled "code."
