+`geotargets` extends targets to work with geospatial data formats, such as rasters and vectors (e.g., shapefiles). 
+
+The design of `geotargets` is to specify target factories like so: `tar_<pkg>_<type>`.
+
+In this vignette we will demonstrate the use of the `terra` R package, and we 
+will demonstrate how to build raster (`rast`), vector (`vect`), and raster collections (`sprc`):
+
+- `tar_terra_rast()`
+- `tar_terra_vect()`
+- `tar_terra_sprc()`
