Tomaz Kastrun shares an unorthodox way of collecting historical R code changes:
I will not comment on the solution Bob provided, since I don’t know how their infrastructure, roles, security is set up. At this point, I am grateful for his comment. But what I will comment, is that there is no straightforward way or any out-of-the-box solution. Furthermore, if your R code requires any additional packages, storing the packages with your R code is not that bad idea, regardless of traffic or disk overhead. And versioning the R code is something that is for sure needed.
To continue from previous post, getting or capturing R code, once it gets to Launchpad, is tricky. So storing R code it in a database table or on file system seems a better idea.
It’s an interesting concept. My preference is to use R Tools for Visual Studio and a more traditional source control mechanism. It involves keeping source control up to date, but that’s a good practice to follow in any case.
