In R, the fundamental unit of shareable code is

the package.
A package bundles together code, data,
documentation, and tests, and is easy to share
with others.
As of January 2015, there were over 6,000
packages available on the
Comprehensive R Archive Network, or CRAN,
the public clearing house for R packages.
