Danielle NavarroI was feeling sad so I decided to queer my #rstats startup message, and now I don't feel so sad
ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏᴡɪɴᴄᴋᴇʟ'ꜱ@djnavarro I am also super curious to the remaining R startup message though! Its so neat and concise, how do you do that?
@Drmowinckels Oh yeah that's a bit of a hack. My .Rprofile has a line in it that clears the screen (and with it the default startup message):
cat("\014")
After that, I write my own startup message like this:
cli::cli_alert(R.version.string)
cli::cli_alert(paste("Running under", utils::osVersion))
cli::cli_alert(paste("System time is", as.character(lubridate::now())))
@Drmowinckels That works fine in RStudio, but if you want it to work for R at the terminal you have to do a bit more work, so the actual "clear screen" code I use is
system2("clear")
cat("\014")
@djnavarro yes yes yes!! Thank you!!! ☺️🤗
