sounds like it would be a good idea for there to be some sort of guide for editors and authors trying to navigate both :)

Anonymising entire R projects can be very difficult, but we did that for this Proc B paper by using the Github for development and then OSF/Zenodo for archiving and sharing specific anonymised versions.

That's a great Q. Github's great for developing code, but isn't well suited for archiving versions of code for publication/review. Other platforms (OSF, Zenodo) are better suited & allow you to share anonymised versions for review (we talk a little about it here: doi.org/10.32942/X2D...)
TADA! Simple guidelines to improve code sharing

From policy to practice: Progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Royal Society
Edward Ivimey-Cook tells us more about a new study that reviewed the clarity, strictness, and timing of data- and code-sharing policies across 275 journals in ecology and evolution, and assessed autho...

Our study assessed data and code policies in eco & evo bio journals, and we found:
1 - A lot of journals have data and code sharing policies that are confusing.
2 - Policies are getting stronger.
3 - When clear data and code-sharing mandates are implemented and enforced, they work.

The work itself is an analysis of a large border interception dataset for Tasmania, using a range of modelling approaches to inform biosecurity operations, and test the robustness of modelling outputs to common statistical issues in interception data.
But also dogs.

Border biosecurity interceptions for air passengers – assessing intervention methods and analytic tools
At-border interventions are a critical step along the biosecurity continuum, to measure and control the risks associated with the cross-border movement of people and goods. Air passengers are a high-v...

We end with guidance on how to improve data- and code-sharing policies across E&E. Shown here in this awesome diagram (made by Romy Zeiss and Kevin Bairos-Novak).
