Project Status

In other R tools, packages are installed and any consequence is up to the user to reconcile. With rv, users have the ability to see what will happen before it occurs, giving power to the users to reconcile any potential issues without changing your current project. This concept persists across other commands, like add and upgrade, with the --dry-run flag, but two commands specifically indicate the status of the project, displaying the information differently depending on your needs.

  • rv plan - Show the results if you were to run rv sync. A more granular view.
  • rv summary - Inspect your project on a global level, indicating information like how packages need to be installed and the source of packages.
