source_gist: Run a script on gist

Description

Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable as a git repository. https://gist.github.com/

Usage

source_gist(id, ..., sha1 = NULL, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

id
either full url (character), gist ID (numeric or character of numeric). If a gist ID is specified and the entry has multiple files, only the first R file in the gist is sourced.
...
other options passed to source
sha1
The SHA-1 hash of the file at the remote URL. This is highly recommend as it prevents you from accidentally running code that's not what you expect. See source_url for more information on using a SHA-1 h
quiet
if FALSE, the default, prints informative messages.

Examples

Run this code
# You can run gists given their id
source_gist(6872663)
source_gist("6872663")

# Or their html url
source_gist("https://gist.github.com/hadley/6872663")
source_gist("gist.github.com/hadley/6872663")

# It's highly recommend that you run source_gist with the optional
# sha1 argument - this will throw an error if the file has changed since
# you first ran it
source_gist(6872663, sha1 = "54f1db27e60")
# Wrong hash will result in error
source_gist(6872663, sha1 = "54f1db27e61")
