Exercism R
Overview
A Dev Container project for the Exercism R track. It defines a Dev Container with the Exercism cli and the R Project installed.
The project is designed to allows you to work through the Exercism R track exercises using the Visual Studio Code editor and the Dev Container running either in a local Docker instance, a remote Docker instance or in a GitHub Codespaces environment.
The project expects that your Exercism tracks will be downloaded to the exercism-r/r subfolder. This folder is ignored and not versioned with this project. If you wish to also keep your exercise solutions in git it is recommended that you either version the exercisim-r/r subfolder or each downloaded tracks subfolder that you work on.
