dso-r: R companion package for dso

The purpose of this package is to provide access to files and configuration organized in a dso project. It provides two main functions:

read_params(stage_path) loads the configuration for the specified stage into an dsoParams R object which can be accessed like a list. The stage name must be relative to the project root. This function works independent of the current working directory, as long as you are in any subdirectory of the project.
reload(object) reloads the config loaded by read_params. Usage: reload(params)
stage_here(rel_path) is inspired by here(). While here() resolves paths that are relative to the project root stage_here() resolves paths that are relative to the stage specified in read_params.
safe_get() is a helper function assuring that a nested list call does not return NULL if accessed incorrectly. ' safe_get() will produce an error and point to the incorrectly accessed slot.

Additionally, dso-r provides an R interface to some of the most important CLI commands of dso.
