Zero-setup R workshops with GitHub Codespaces

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Creates a reproducible, zero-setup R workshop by putting an explicit .devcontainer in a GitHub repo that pulls a rocker image, installs R 4.x (example 4.2.1) and listed packages, and runs RStudio Server or VS Code in the browser so participants get the same environment. A Codespace boots in about 10–20 seconds, opens notebooks and RMarkdown, preinstalled packages avoid errors, and the setup works live; Codespaces availability is limited to GitHub Enterprise and Education.
