Type: Project in R DESCRIPTION files

[chendaniely]

Just a note for myself since I'm not that familiar with the course content ... yet?

Adding Type: Project to an R DESCRIPTION file will allow you to treat the R/ folder as a place to put project-related functions, and be able to "install" the project as a package with devtools::load_all() without having to manually source the R/ directory.

Example DESCRIPTION file:
