## What it is
renv is an R package that creates reproducible project environments for R projects. It gives each project a private package library and records exact package versions in a lockfile so projects can be restored identically elsewhere.

## Use cases
- make R projects reproducible with locked package versions
- isolate R package dependencies per project
- share an R project so collaborators get the same packages
- restore R package versions on a new machine
- avoid package conflicts between R projects
- manage R dependencies like a lockfile for CI

## When to choose
- you work on multiple R projects with conflicting package requirements
- you need reproducible R environments for collaboration or deployment
- you want a lockfile-based dependency workflow in R

## When to avoid
- you work outside the R language
- you want a general-purpose package manager for non-R toolchains

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: package-manager, developer-tools, configuration-management
- domain: developer-tools, data-science, programming-languages
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: r, reproducibility, dependency-management, lockfile, project-environments
