This might be a terrible idea, but I like loading packages without a bunch of a require statements — or needing to explicitly install a package if I haven't already done so. I have this function in my .Rprofile, so the top of my R files look like this:

pkgs <- c(
  "tidyverse",
  "Hmisc",
  ... etc.
)

smartRequire(pkgs)
