Announcing the {cheatsheet} Package

By: Brad Lindblad

Package homepage: https://bradlindblad.github.io/cheatsheet/ Package github repo: https://github.com/bradlindblad/cheatsheet

{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 Link to heading

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

install.packages("cheatsheet")

cheatsheet::get_all_cheatsheets(local_path = "cheats", tidyverse_only = FALSE)
fs::dir_ls("cheats")

Foreign language support Link to heading

{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()

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
