Interact with different RStudio projects

The package offers many ways to interact with different local RStudio projects.

Setup

To take advantage of this functionality, you first have to set options(reuseme.reposdir) in your .Rprofile file. Access it with usethis::edit_r_profile().

I would recommend you add the following. It works better if you store your RStudio projects in common directories.

Inspired by usethis options

if (interactive()) {
  options(reuseme.reposdir = c("~/rrr/", "~/packages", "~/rrr-work/"))

}

Capabilities.

Assumes that you have a project named "learning" A project outline

proj_outline("learning)

Add a TODO item to the learning project

use_todo("learning::Learn this")

Get file outline of the file.R in "learning"

proj_file("file", "learning")

Move to a new project in the same session

proj_switch("learning")

A lot of these features are already present in RStudio and with usethis. However, when managing many projects, the recent projects list can be more difficult to handle. Passing the full project name to usethis::proj_activate() was too long.
