R Environment Variables (.Renviron)

How to use a .Renviron file in R to securely manage API keys, database credentials, and other sensitive configuration settings.

In this video, you’ll see how to create a .Renviron file, define environment variables correctly, access them in your R scripts using Sys.getenv(), and prevent secrets from being committed to Git. I also show how to structure a .Renviron.example file so collaborators know which variables are required without exposing any private information.
