{cheatsheet} is a simple R package that downloads helpful R cheatsheets from the repository maintained by RStudio. You could easily just clone the repo these are hosted at and filter them how you wish; this package is just a shortcut and more useful for people who aren’t familiar with git.

Installation

You can install the released version of cheatsheet from CRAN with:

install.packages("cheatsheet")

Usage

The main function here is cheatsheet::get_all_cheatsheets.

library(cheatsheet)
library(fs)

# Get all cheatsheets and place in a folder on your desktop
cheatsheet::get_all_cheatsheets(local_path = "cheats", tidyverse_only = FALSE)
fs::dir_ls("cheats")

Foreign language support

{cheatsheet} also lets you download cheatsheets that have been translated to over a dozen languages. Check which languages are available with this command:

cheatsheet::list_languages()
── Languages available for get_translation() ───────────────────────────────────
• chinese
• dutch
• french
• german
• greek
• italian
• japanese
• korean
• portuguese
• russian
• spanish
• turkish
• ukranian
• uzbek
• vietnamese
── Pass the language you choose above to get_translation(), like: 
get_translation('~/Desktop/french', 'french')

Then, pass the language you want to this function:

cheatsheet::get_translation(local_path = "cheats", language = "german")

# base-r_de.pdf
# data-transformation-cheatsheet_de.pdf
# data-wrangling-german.pdf
# devtools-german.pdf
# ggplot2-german.pdf
# rmarkdown-cheatsheet-2.0-german.pdf
# shiny-german.pdf
# sparklyr-cheatsheet_de.pdf

If anyone has another known and established stash of cheatsheets that would be helpful for this package, please submit an issue or pull request.
