It's a very astute and appropriate question & one I touched on in a blog (link at end of twitter rant :-)

There are a few reasons for githubbing. The ones here are far from exhaustive.

First, many folks are fleshing out an idea (so it's a short-or-long WIP) and also looking for collaborators and testers. This is a good/necessary iteration step IMO as it garners attention from the community and one can get a sense for the utility/desirability/reach.

The "CRAN" hurdle is a serious effort that all pkg authors (even if they aren't on GH or CRAN) should strive to vault since the checks associated with it really help with overall package quality.

Now, I'm as "guilty" as anyone else when it comes to having GH-only packages and I do it for many reasons.

Using View() is very slow - RStudio v1.1.336 on Windows 7 in an enterprise environment

In RStudio View(iris) is very slow - it locks up RStudio for ~5-10s or more. I have no idea why this difference exists.

I ran the following to find out my HOME directory:

$ echo $HOME

This returns /h/ - my Home drive on the network

	## re-create a figure similar to Fig. 2 in Wilson et al. (2018),
	## Nature 554: 183-188. Available from:

	##
	## combines a boxplot (or violin) with the raw data, by splitting each
	## category location in two (box on left, raw data on right)
