devkit

devkit is a professional, zero-dependency R development toolkit designed to streamline package management, environment setup, session auditing, and batch processing. It provides a suite of utilities to help developers maintain CRAN compliance and optimize their development workflow.

🚀 Installation

Install the released version of devkit from CRAN with:

install.packages("devkit")

Or install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("zankrut20/devkit")

🛠️ Usage

Once installed, simply load the library to access all utilities:

library(devkit)

# Example: Audit your package dependencies
audit_dependencies()

# Example: Clean up memory hogs
hunt_zombies()

📦 Toolkit Overview

📦 Package Management

• audit_dependencies(): Verifies DESCRIPTION file vs actual code usage.
• remove_package(): Smart package removal with orphan dependency checking.
• remove_user_installed_packages(): Cleans all user-installed packages while preserving base/recommended ones.
• scan_dependencies(): Identifies unused packages in your session.

🧹 Memory Management

• sweep_memory(): Removes large objects and triggers garbage collection.
• hunt_zombies(): Cleans hidden temp files and orphaned graphics devices.
• sweep_temp_cache(): Flushes R session caches across the system.

🔧 Development Environment

• bootstrap_dev_env(): Installs and attaches core dev tools.
• manage_deprecation(): Scaffolds deprecation wrappers and refactors calls.
• setup_preflight(): Configures Git pre-commit hooks for safety.
• setup_sentinel(): Enables dual-logging for session reproducibility.

📊 Session Management

• audit_script(): Snapshots session state before and after script execution.
• detect_masking(): Resolves namespace conflicts and function masking.
• export_snapshot(): Exports attached packages to an installation script.

⚙️ Batch Processing

• dispatch_checkpoints(): Crash-resilient batch processing with recovery.
• loop_guardian(): Memory-safe iteration with RAM monitoring.
• network_diplomat(): Rate-limited network requests with exponential backoff.

🏗️ Code Generation

• architect_release(): Automates version bumping and release notes.
• architect_vignette(): Scaffolds CRAN-compliant vignettes.
• scaffold_parallel(): Generates parallel processing boilerplate.
• scaffold_tests(): Generates testthat boilerplate.
• simulate_clean_room(): Verifies script reproducibility in a vanilla session.

🔐 Privacy

• mask_identity(): Interactively anonymizes PII in datasets.

🛠️ Utilities

• benchmark_branches(): Compares performance across Git branches.
• dictate_dictionary(): Generates roxygen2 documentation for data frames.
