Background

The Github repository for the R client has two main branches, "develop" and "master".  "Master" contains the series of released versions of the R Client, each tagged according to its version.  "Develop" is the branch for on-going development work.  It is merged into Master when a new version is released.

Builds are done using Jenkins jobs which run at http://georgetown.fhrcr.org.  There are jobs for (1) building the client from the Github repository, (2) deploying clients to Sage's LRAN (depot.sagebase.org) and (3) for testing versions deployed to the LRAN.

Deployment Steps

At the moment these are just guesses:

Increment the client version and push to github

Wait for build to run and check that it passes

Increment 'latest version' info

Run tests against prod (Is this necessary?)

R documentation

A wickedly-basic high-level intro, including some basics on setting up your own LRAN:
The "bible" for R package developers. No one should be allowed to contribute to our R packages without first reading this:
If you really want to be an R pro, you might read the rest of the docs here:
Topical user contributed docs are also available:

bash

With some basic bash scripting knowledge, the purpose of the Jenkins jobs that use shell scripts will be pretty obvious:

I found Jenkins to be simple and self-explanatory, so didn't read any of it's documentation. If after messing with it, you still find yourself to be confused, you might try some of their online tutorials:
