+# Help
+
+## Running the tests
+
+Tests require the `{testthat}` package to be installed in R.
+To run the tests for an exercise, simply execute the `test_<exercise_name>.R` script from within the exercise's directory.
+
+This can be conveniently done with [testthat's `auto_test` function](https://testthat.r-lib.org/reference/auto_test.html). Because exercism code and tests are in the same folder, use this same path for both `code_path` and `test_path` parameters. On the command-line, you can also run `Rscript test_<exercise_name>.R`.
+
+See the [tests page](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/r/tests) for more information.
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit leap.R` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
+
+- See how others have completed the exercise
+- Request help from a mentor
+
+## Need to get help?
+
+If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
+
+- The [R track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/r)
+- The [R track's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/r)
+- [Exercism's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/5)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
+
+Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
+
+To get help if you're having trouble, you can try one of the following resources:
+
+- [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/r) can be used to search for your problem and see if it has been answered already. You can also ask and answer questions.
+- [#rstats](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23rstats) is the hashtag to use if you are asking for help or guidance on Twitter. The R community is very active on Twitter and always try to help those who are new to R.
+- [/r/rstats](https://www.reddit.com/r/rstats) is the R subreddit.
+- [RStudio Community](https://community.rstudio.com/) is another active and helpful R community.

+# Leap
+
+Welcome to Leap on Exercism's R Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Introduction
+
+A leap year (in the Gregorian calendar) occurs:
+
+- In every year that is evenly divisible by 4.
+- Unless the year is evenly divisible by 100, in which case it's only a leap year if the year is also evenly divisible by 400.
+
+Some examples:
+
+- 1997 was not a leap year as it's not divisible by 4.
+- 1900 was not a leap year as it's not divisible by 400.
+- 2000 was a leap year!
+
+~~~~exercism/note
+For a delightful, four-minute explanation of the whole phenomenon of leap years, check out [this YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX96xng7sAE).
+~~~~
+
+## Instructions
+
+Your task is to determine whether a given year is a leap year.
