@drdcarpenter @mschmidty Hopefully this helps 👍 I'm sure you can go more fancy, but its a good example starting point. #rstats

@lwpembleton @drdcarpenter @mschmidty Team no (or very limited) yaml! why not using a list instead? cc @milesmcbain for debate!

@lwpembleton I do something "similar", but also different. I store the config in an R file called `config.R` and I source the the file in the beginning of my script. Something like: ```r cfg <- list( # some comment input_path = "/some/path", output_path = "/some/path", # define some of the cutoffs for blah cutoffs = list( fdr = .05, logfc = 1.5 ) ) ``` The advantage is that it is easy to debug, zero dependency, can contain comments. @drdcarpenter @mschmidty

@lwpembleton @drdcarpenter thanks for the example. I’ve considered using yaml for a few things but haven’t implemented.
