Use RPubs to publish R code

If the data is public and you want to show off your R skills you can use rpubs directly

Use RStudio Cloud to publish private code.

There is a 'Cloud' version of RStudio, perfect for a quick demo. For more serious work, there is some dedicated plans.

Use GoogleColab for collaborative work

This is a little-known option but it's possible to use R inside GoogleColab

Start rmagic by executing this in a cell:

%load_ext rpy2.ipython

Then start your script by %%R to execute

%%R

x <- 1:10

x
# it should display number from 1 to 10

Native R on GoogleColab

there is an undocumented feature that allows running R code natively

I wouldn't rely on it, as it might disappear
