reprex
An R package that creates reproducible examples from R code for sharing on GitHub, Stack Overflow, Slack, and other platforms.
What is reprex?
reprex is an R package that creates reproducible examples (reprexes) from R code. It automatically formats code and its output into shareable snippets for platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Slack, solving the problem of poorly formatted or non-reproducible code in help requests. By using rmarkdown and knitr under the hood, it ensures that examples are clean, runnable, and easy for others to understand and debug.
R developers and data scientists who frequently seek help on forums like Stack Overflow or GitHub, or who collaborate via Slack and need to share executable code snippets efficiently.
Developers choose reprex because it automates the tedious process of creating reproducible examples, reducing friction in getting help and improving the quality of shared code. Its integration with the clipboard and support for multiple output formats make it a versatile tool for any R user who communicates code.
