A Helpful Way to Install R Packages Hosted on GitHub

githubinstall's Issues

Not 1, 2 but Yes/No selection for choices

How about "Yes/No" selections to decide whether install or not like Linux based-OS do when the packages will be installed.

In addition to that, it might be good to set default setting "Yes".

gh_install_packages() does not find the repository I know exists

I tried to install a package hosted here: https://github.com/emmanuelparadis/pegas, but gh_install_packages() does not find the correct repository. Is there a way to point to the appropriate repository manually.

gh_update_package_list()
gh_search_packages("pegas")

username package_name title
1 dwinter Pegas My branch of Emmanuel Paradis' PEGAS library for phylogeography/popgen

githubinstall("pegas") installs an old version of pegas from the repository of dwinter:

githubinstall("pegas")
Suggestion:

• dwinter/Pegas My branch of Emmanuel Paradis' PEGAS library for phylogeography/popgen
  Do you want to install the package (Y/n)?

githubinstall("emmanuelparadis/pegas/pegas"), strangely, installs an R package to retrieve trading prices and other data from the Australian Energy Market Operator.

githubinstall("emmanuelparadis/pegas/pegas")
Suggestion:

• imanuelcostigan/aemo Get price and demand data from AEMO website
  Do you want to install the package (Y/n)?

[Feature / Suggestion] Use `tibble` over `data.frame` for `gh_list_packages()`

Hi, thank you for this very nice package.

I suppose you want to keep the dependencies to a minimum?
If not a small suggestion. I think its pretty favorable to showcase the output
of gh_list_packages() as a tibble instead of a data.frame, as this massive amount
of data just gets unreadable with the formatting in the console for a data.frame

Output for data.frame
gh_list_packages()

Output for tibble
gh_list_packages() |> dplyr::as_tibble()

README.md reference to Gepuro Task Views seems to be broekn404

I was wondering how you generate the list of Github Packages
in the README you state

"Gepuro Task Views provides the list."

However the link seems to be broken (and incomplete)

The package list hasn't been updated timely?

Hi, I tried to download one of the packages that I know exists but failed to. And I found that the file with all package names hasn't been updated since Feb 2018.

download_url <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoxo-m/gepuro-task-views-copy/master/package_list.txt"

https://github.com/hoxo-m/gepuro-task-views-copy

Thank you!

Just wanted to share that your package was a real-life saver. Thanks!

Error message:

Cannot find the read-only mirror of the CRAN R package repository on github

Example:
githubinstall("RbioRXN")

It is a discontinued CRAN package, that exists in github:
https://github.com/cran/RbioRXN

But githubinstall cannot find it.

githubinstall from a specific branch

Hi, sorry if this is already possible, I could not see it.
for example I use

library(devtools)
install_github("swish-climate-impact-assessment/awaptools", ref = "develop")

to install the development version

githubinstall issue

Hi,
I am having issues in installing GitHub developer packages, especially when using githubistall it gives this error
