Abstract
Code that follows a uniform style eases maintenance, modification, and ensuring correctness, especially when multiple programmers are involved. Thus, RLint is automatically used within Google as part of the peer review process for R code. We encourage CRAN package authors and other R programmers to use this tool. A user can run the open-source Python-based program in a Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows machine via a command line.
