workflowr is an R package that helps researchers organize analysis projects as reproducible research websites.
It combines literate programming with knitr and R Markdown, together with Git version control via git2r, to create time-stamped, versioned, and documented results. The package is designed for data science projects where analyses, source code, outputs, and project history need to be kept together and shared clearly.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides a structured project template with organized subdirectories.
- Combines code, narrative text, and results using R Markdown.
- Uses Git to version both source code and generated results.
