runGitHub

From shiny v0.9.0 by Winston Chang

Run a Shiny application from a GitHub repository

Download and launch a Shiny application that is hosted in a GitHub repository.

Usage

runGitHub(repo, username = getOption("github.user"), ref = "master",
  subdir = NULL, port = NULL,
  launch.browser = getOption("shiny.launch.browser", interactive()))

Arguments

repo: Name of the repository
username: GitHub username
ref: Desired git reference. Could be a commit, tag, or branch name. Defaults to "master".
subdir: A subdirectory in the repository that contains the app. By default, this function will run an app from the top level of the repo, but you can use a path such as `"inst/shinyapp".
port: The TCP port that the application should listen on. Defaults to choosing a random port.
launch.browser: If true, the system's default web browser will be launched automatically after the app is started. Defaults to true in interactive sessions only.

Examples

runGitHub("shiny_example", "rstudio")

# Can run an app from a subdirectory in the repo
runGitHub("shiny_example", "rstudio", subdir = "inst/shinyapp/")
