How to share reprexes on slack

I have this code. How can I share a reprex on Slack?

  print("I love")
  
  print("reprex")

reprex::reprex() has the argument venue; it tweaks the output to render best the venue you will use to share your reprex.

By default venue is GitHub (venue = "gh"). This means your reprex will render nicely on GitHub, including GitHub issues (like the one you are reading now) and also GitHub Gists. Use GitHub issues when the reprex relates to a specific repository; otherwise use GitHub Gists.

On Slack, simply paste the link to the GitHub issue or GitHub Gist you created. On the clipboard, the output is this:

``` r
  print("I love")
#> [1] "I love"
  
  print("reprex")
#> [1] "reprex"
```

And on GitHub the output renders like this:

  print("I love")
#> [1] "I love"
  
  print("reprex")
#> [1] "reprex"

If the reprex is tiny, you may share it directly on Slack; use venue = "r". Here is a discussion about this. This is what I would type to run such a reprex:

reprex::reprex({
  print("I love")
  
  print("reprex")
  },
  venue = "r"
)

I dislike this approach because creating the reprex is a bit harder, and because Slack renders it in a way that makes it hard to read.

Thanks @daisy-pacheco for motivating this post.

No repository file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating where project guidance for sharing reprexes belongs, then verify that the documentation clearly covers the Slack workflow and the examples described here.
