Description

Proposed changes:

• Make the subheadings in "developer environment" setup match the steps in the numbered bullets
• "at a specific ref" -> clarify
• include reference table of environment variables??
• add flowchart to " What happens when you R CMD INSTALL?" section?
• "so the installation process is easy" - rephrase from "is easy" to something that acknowledges it's only easy when it goes right!
• "it should look incredibly familiar" - rephase from "should" to "might" or similar
• Add something about the fact that we use tidyverse style and recommend styling code with styler
