Using the "here" package to manage file paths
Aaron Mamula

  • Fun-ness: Medium

    Suggested For: Anyone unfamiliar or not super comfortable with working directories in R

    I use the package 'here' to help manage file paths for data import functions. In this video I explain why I use this package and how the package works. This will help you understand how the data import code I have provided works.
