Yes, we used to use custom stuff but opted for https://github.com/hadley/testthat in the end.

We have an internal Github Enterprise instance for version control.

Excellent info, thanks! 
I thought you at some point mentioned using GitLab instead of GitHub? 
..but I can't find info about local Github instances.

Both were evaluated by the technology people. I think Github won on support model but not really read much into the details.

I don't know if this is a mac issue, but when using xlsread in matlab the program only reads the first element of the matrix. I run the following in matlab but only receive the first element of the matrix

betaPV = xlsread('/Users/myname/Desktop/R folder/betaPV.xlsx')

Yesterday, I tried this out:
betaPV = xlsread('/Users/myname/Desktop/R folder/betaPV.xlsx',-1) 
and it worked (magically). But when running the code today, I once again only receive the first element.

Thanks, I missed the features-tab earlier on, thought is was offering private but off-premises repos. The hypervisor solution is an interesting deployment option. I'll forward the info to a small "R" startup quant team I ran into.

Do you mean R not Matlab?

For a small operation Gitlab or Atlassian is most likely a better on premises options: https://www.atlassian.com/software

Not R, but Matlab. 
To double check my progress i often compute the same programming in Matlab. R had no issue but Matlab - for some reason - did.
