Usage

notifyIfNewVersion(
  package = "crunch",
  github = "Crunch-io/rcrunch",
  installed.version = as.character(packageVersion(package))
)

checkForNewVersion(github, installed.version)

Arguments

package	character package name
github	character "organization/repo" of your package on GitHub
installed.version	character the currently installed version string

Value

checkForNewVersion returns the version string if there is a new version, or NULL. notifyIfNewVersion returns nothing invisibly, called for its side effects.
