OVERVIEW

I have found that the trackdown package is incredibly useful for collaboration with non-R users. It's design suggests that the main use case was a group of researchers all working on one paper -- a big .Rmd file. The package documentation has a very clear workflow description.

I've put some wrappers and additional code around the package to make working with a couple dozen Distill pages.

This set of functions is handy for synchronizing more than a dozen .Rmd files by simplifying the following:

There are packages for this now!

2017-08-03: Since I wrote this in 2014, the universe, specifically Kirill Müller (https://github.com/krlmlr), has provided better solutions to this problem. I now recommend that you use one of these two packages:

• rprojroot: This is the main package with functions to help you express paths in a way that will "just work" when developing interactively in an RStudio Project and when you render your file.
• here: A lightweight wrapper around rprojroot that anticipates the most likely scenario: you want to write paths relative to the top-level directory, defined as an RStudio project or Git repo. TRY THIS FIRST.

I love these packages so much I wrote an ode to here.

I use these packages now instead of what I describe below. I'll leave this gist up for historical interest. 😆

Stylus Best Practices

Introduction

This is a curated set of conventions and best practices for Stylus, an expressive, dynamic, robust and advanced CSS preprocessor. Frustrated with there not being a set of conventions set in place (that could be easily found), I set forth to find out on my own.
