The relic package provides tools for working with version-controlled workflows, in git repositories. It enables extracting and comparing files and objects from project history. You can use relic for tasks such as

  • Pulling a file from a previous version of your code
  • Creating a report (or a GIF!) that shows the evolution of a model object or output over the course of repository development
  • Run code repeatedly at many points along repository history to compare outputs or performance.

relic has specific functionality for working with targets projects. It works especially well when used in conjunction with cloud-based, versioned object storage.

Installation

You can install the development version of relic from R-Universe like so:

install.packages("relic", repos = "https://ecohealthalliance.r-universe.dev")

Or, you can build the source package from GitHub with

devtools::install_github("ecohealthalliance/relic")
