 # The `pepr` package: Portable Encapsulated Projects in R
 
 `pepr` is an R package for reading [Portable Encapsulated Projects](http://pep.databio.org/en/2.0.0/), or **PEP**s, in R. If you describe your project (configuration and samples) according to this format, you can load all project metadata into R using the `pepr` package. To test `pepr`, you can try loading one of the [example PEPs](https://github.com/pepkit/example_peps).
 
+Complete documentation and API for the `pepr` R package is at [code.databio.org/pepr](http://code.databio.org/pepr/).
