I would like to change where RStudio saves the r.snippets file that stores my code snippets. According to this site, RStudio should save to ~/.R/snippets/r.snippets. I use R_USER=C:/Users/JT/R in my Renviron.site file to set the location of ~. I think this code works, because when I check the location of ~ in RStudio I get:



> path.expand("~")
[1] "C:/Users/JT/R"


However, when I edit the snippets in RStudio it creates the r.snippets file in the folder C:UsersJTDocuments.Rsnippets. I want the r.snippets file to be saved in the folder C:UsersJTR.Rsnippets.



Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

          Over on the RStudio Community site this same question was asked as Can you change the directory the Rstudio looks for the r.snippets file?



          Very helpful answer by RStudio employee kevinushey was:




          While that directory isn't currently configurable, you might have luck
          creating a symbolic link (or, on Windows, a junction point) to
          re-route the snippets directory to another location.




          tom_greenwood, the user who asked the question followed up with details of the steps he used:




          1. Put you existing r.snippets file in the new directory on the shared drive. I called mine 'snippet files'
          2. Delete the snippets directory which is inside the .R directory
          3. Run cdm as an administrator.
          4. Enter the command mklink /D "C:Usersname.surnameDocuments.Rsnippets" "T:shared directorysnippet files"
          5. Restart Rstudio.
