Repo: The Data-centered Data Flow Manager

Description

A data manager meant to avoid manual storage/retrieval of data to/from the file system. It builds one (or more) centralized repository where R objects are stored with rich annotations, including corresponding code chunks, and easily searched and retrieved. See Napolitano (2017) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1186/s12859-017-1510-6")} for further information.

Details

The Repo package is meant to help with the management of R data files. It builds one (or more) centralized repository where R objects are stored together with corresponding annotations, tags, dependency notes, provenance traces. It also provides navigation tools to easily locate and load previously stored resources.

Create a new repository with rp <- repo_open().

Given the object rp of class repo, the repo command foo must be called like this: rp$foo(). However, the public name of foo will be repo_foo, and this name must be used to get help (?repo_foo).

For a complete list of functions, use library(help = "repo").
