What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A read-only Git mirror of the official R source code from the upstream SVN repository, updated hourly. It lets developers browse, clone, and search the full history of the R programming language implementation on GitHub.
Use cases
- browse the R interpreter source code on GitHub
- clone R source with git instead of svn
- search R commit history and blame specific lines
- build R from source for development or patching
- check out a specific R release tag or branch
- contribute patches to R core development
When to choose
- you need git-based access to R's source history
- you want to build or patch R itself
- you're studying the R interpreter implementation
When to avoid
- you just want to install and use R (download a binary or CRAN release)
- you need an authoritative SVN checkout for official builds
- you want R packages rather than the language core
