Generate project infrastructure

Create the renv project infrastructure. This will:

Create a project library, renv/library.
Install renv into the project library.
Update the project .Rprofile to call source("renv/activate.R") so that renv is automatically loaded for new R sessions launched in this project.
Create renv/.gitignore, which tells git to ignore the project library.
Create .Rbuildignore, if the project is also a package. This tells R CMD build to ignore the renv infrastructure,
Write a (bare) lockfile, renv.lock.

Usage

scaffold(
  project = NULL,
  version = NULL,
  repos = getOption("repos"),
  settings = NULL
)

project: The project directory. If NULL, then the active project will be used. If no project is currently active, then the current working directory is used instead.
version: The version of renv to associate with this project. By default, the version of renv currently installed is used.
repos: The R repositories to associate with this project.
settings: A list of renv settings, to be applied to the project after creation. These should map setting names to the desired values. See settings for more details.


if (FALSE) {
# create scaffolding with 'devtools' ignored
renv::scaffold(settings = list(ignored.packages = "devtools"))
}
