Preface

Many resources on code smells and refactoring are focusing on object-oriented design (OOD), which means that many “ordinary” code smells won’t appear in most R code. I have for the sake of brevity removed code smells that is very unlikely to occur in general R writing. Shortcuts and keybindings will be shown for the RStudio IDE.

TODO specify the difference between - function - variable - parameter - temp - Primitive/Atomic

This resource stands on the shoulder of giants.
