This means that you can offload the need to continuously render your RMarkdown document, and it ensures that your document builds successfully on a completely clean system, so that any unintentional dependencies on your own specific system can be reduced. While the build was happening you could continue editing, with the knowledge that a passing (the green light a successfully rendered RMarkdown document) or a failing build (red light) would immediately trigger some sort of notification, such as an email, or, at the very least, a “Passing” or “Failing” badge for your repository: Once in the cloud an automated build process (with RMarkdown this would be some version of the rmarkdown::render() function) would be initiated. In this cycle you would edit the document, save & commit, and then push. This shows a virtuous cycle for RMarkdown document development. If you are making commits often, and making use of content-rich commit messages, then it helps you keep track of the decisions and choices that go in to developing your project. Frequent commits are important for managing code. The objective for continuous integration is to minimize the time between committed changes and the notification of changes that break the code.

Continuous integration is a practice borrowed from software development, where code is expected to be stored within a repository that includes an automated build procedure and, preferably, self-testing elements. One of the things I really enjoyed is the use of continuous integration in code development with the package.

Recently I’ve been thinking about how to manage version control more efficiently with the tools I’ve used as part of rOpenSci’s package management for our neotoma R package. These open-development papers are (for the most part) accompanied by a Contributor Code of Conduct and an authorship invitation. ( 2016) were entirely written using public version control, and there are more papers in development. Goring and Williams ( 2017) and Goring et al. Most of my recent papers have been developed openly on GitHub as well. I use RMarkdown documents for most of my research coding, and I use GitHub extensively both to collaborate and for project management on projects for which I am the sole author. Ultimately, they can be compiled to finished papers, but they also serve as excellent teaching tools, they can look very polished, using different CSS stylings, and they give you a lot of control over the execution of your R workflow. RMarkdown documents are really helpful tools for developing papers.

My code components are set to 'cache=TRUE', because it's a big file and I want to cut down on loading time.

This is especially confusing as it always works the first time, and the PDF output looks exactly as I want it to. If the cache has been created, I get the following error when trying to do subsequent knits: ! LaTeX Error: Illegal character in array arg. I am able to do this, but only if I've deleted the cache folder. I have an rMarkdown file with a mixture of code, tables, and plain text (in RStudio). I'm getting a weird error that I can't seem to understand.
