R project architecture examples
Interactive architecture diagrams of 160 open-source R repositories with a GitDiagram architecture diagram, most stars first. Each diagram shows the project's main components, how they connect, and links every part to its file on GitHub.
Repositories 1–50 of 160
tidyverse/ggplot2★ 6.9k
ggplot2 is not a traditional “full stack” application with separated frontend/back-end; rather, it is a library, or open-source tool, for data visualization.

devtools is an R package providing an interactive façade for common R-package development workflows.
tidyverse/tidyverse★ 1.8k
tidyverse is a small R package that provides a convenient entry point to the core tidyverse: a user loads the package, which attaches the core packages and reports masking…

Counted over GitDiagram's stored diagrams of public repositories, from the names their components and groups carry and the files they link to; the rules are the ones in the 2026 open-source architecture report. Stars are GitHub's when the diagram was last made. Rebuilt daily: hubs grow as more repositories' languages are known.
