tinytrail: Lightweight Auto-Updating Project Tracker and Data Dictionary
Once initialized, the package leaves a 'tiny trail' of human- and AI-readable
text that makes it effortless to keep track of small to medium-sized
projects. The package is lightweight (hence 'tiny') and maintains a YAML
trail file recording which scripts produced which output files. Call
tinytrail() once at the top of each script to record metadata, wrap any
save call with tinytrail_write() to log the output path, and optionally
use tinytrail_dict() to capture a data dictionary for each input data frame.
