The logic to find a project root based on certain criteria is packaged in the rprojroot package. Many projects might not need the full power, and the complexity that comes with it. Meet here:
library(here)here()#> [1] "/home/muelleki/git/R/here"here("DESCRIPTION")#> [1] "/home/muelleki/git/R/here/DESCRIPTION"here("R", "here.R")#> [1] "/home/muelleki/git/R/here/R/here.R"
