Teaching reproducible computational workflows

Extended workshop on reproducible workflows in R using functions, {targets} and {renv}. Originally developed with Isabella Richmond for CSEE 2023, also delivered at CSEE 2026.

In addition, I have set up a number of example workflows for different applications to help others learn to use the incredible targets package.
