install_github {devtools} | R Documentation |
This function is vectorised on repo
so you can install multiple
packages in a single command.
install_github(repo, username = NULL, ref = "master", subdir = NULL, auth_token = github_pat(quiet), host = "api.github.com", force = FALSE, quiet = FALSE, ...)
repo |
Repository address in the format
|
username |
User name. Deprecated: please include username in the
|
ref |
Desired git reference. Could be a commit, tag, or branch
name, or a call to |
subdir |
subdirectory within repo that contains the R package. |
auth_token |
To install from a private repo, generate a personal
access token (PAT) in https://github.com/settings/tokens and
supply to this argument. This is safer than using a password because
you can easily delete a PAT without affecting any others. Defaults to
the |
host |
GitHub API host to use. Override with your GitHub enterprise
hostname, for example, |
force |
Force installation even if the git SHA1 has not changed since the previous install. |
quiet |
if |
... |
Other arguments passed on to |
Attempting to install from a source repository that uses submodules
raises a warning. Because the zipped sources provided by GitHub do not
include submodules, this may lead to unexpected behaviour or compilation
failure in source packages. In this case, cloning the repository manually
using install_git
with args="--recursive"
may yield
better results.
