It is vectorised so you can install multiple packages with
a single command. You do not need to have the git2r
package,
or an external git client installed.
install_git(url, subdir = NULL, ref = NULL, branch = NULL,
credentials = NULL, git = c("auto", "git2r", "external"),
dependencies = NA, upgrade = c("ask", "always", "never"),
force = FALSE, quiet = FALSE, build = TRUE,
build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual",
"--no-build-vignettes"), repos = getOption("repos"),
type = getOption("pkgType"), ...)
Location of package. The url should point to a public or private repository.
A sub-directory within a git repository that may contain the package we are interested in installing.
Name of branch, tag or SHA reference to use, if not HEAD.
Deprecated, synonym for ref.
A git2r credentials object passed through to clone.
Supplying this argument implies using git2r
with git
.
Whether to use the git2r
package, or an external
git client via system. Default is git2r
if it is installed,
otherwise an external git installation.
Which dependencies do you want to check? Can be a character vector (selecting from "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", or "Enhances"), or a logical vector.
TRUE
is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo" and
"Suggests". NA
is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports" and "LinkingTo"
and is the default. FALSE
is shorthand for no dependencies (i.e.
just check this package, not its dependencies).
One of "ask", "always" or "never". "ask" prompts the user for
which out of date packages to upgrade. For non-interactive sessions "ask" is
equivalent to "always". TRUE
and FALSE
are also accepted and
correspond to "always" and "never" respectively.
Force installation, even if the remote state has not changed since the previous install.
If TRUE
, suppress output.
If TRUE
build the package before installing.
Options to pass to R CMD build
, only used when build
is TRUE
.
A character vector giving repositories to use.
Type of package to update
.
Other arguments passed on to utils::install.packages()
