✨ NAME ✨

Rscript - front end for scripting with R 🧚

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

Rscript [options] file [args]
Rscript [options] -e expr [-e expr2 ...] [args]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so Rscript is a binary front-end to R, made specifically for scripting applications. It's giving reliable energy 🔥

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --help — Pull up the usage info and exit 🙈
• --version — Show the version and exit ✨
• --verbose — Print info on progress as it goes 🦋
• --default-packages=LIST — Attach these packages on startup. It's a comma-separated LIST of package names, or 'NULL' 💜

🌈 and options to R (in addition to --no-echo --no-restore), for example: 🌈

• --save — Save the workspace at the end of the session 🍓
• --no-environ — Don't read the site and user environment files 🙅‍♀️
• --no-site-file — Don't read the site-wide Rprofile 🫶
• --no-init-file — Don't read the user R profile 🌸
• --restore — Restore previously saved objects at startup ⭐
• --vanilla — Combine --no-save, --no-restore, --no-site-file, --no-init-file and --no-environ all in one go. Main character energy 👑

Expressions (one or more -e <expr>) can be used instead of file. Any additional args can be accessed from R via commandArgs(TRUE). Also, look up ?Rscript from inside R, it's iconic 🎀
