Constructs paths to your project's files. The 'here()' function uses a reasonable heuristics to find your project's files, based on the current working directory at the time when the package is loaded. Use it as a drop-in replacement for 'file.path()', it will always locate the files relative to your project root.
A simple interface to rprojroot.
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"

here()
.here file or can be either an RStudio project, an R package, a remake project, a Projectile project, or a VCS repository.set_here() function creates a .here file so that a directory is recognized as root by here().dr_here() function explains the reasoning of here() for the current session.
