Nowadays computer project management tools are widely widespread, many of them,

provide a specific part of project life cycle management or are third-parties solutions.

Here we introduce an open source and free solution to manage R packages developments and deliveries.

 

In this presentation we will focus on the GitLab Community Edition self-hosted, a web-based

Git-repository and projet life cycle management. Then we focus in it continuous integration and delivery pipeline part, using Docker and VirtualBox, for R packaging et R Shiny Apps deliveries.

This local solution uses in our laboratory allows us to develop R codes in a collaborative mode and to automate R packages checking and building (archives and binaries).This process allows us to share private and/or in development R packages on multiples OS and to accelerate CRAN submission by decreasing checking error. Finally the R shiny pipeline allow us to build and deploy in production without the intervention of the IT staff.
