In ggeffects: Create Tidy Data Frames of Marginal Effects for 'ggplot' from Model Outputs

#' Update latest ggeffects-version from R-universe (GitHub) or CRAN
#'
#' This function can be used to install the latest package version of *ggeffects*,
#' either the development version (from R-universe/GitHub) or the current
#' version from CRAN.
#'
#' @param source Character. Either `"development"` or `"cran"`. If `"cran"`,
#'   *ggeffects* will be installed from the default CRAN mirror returned by
#'   `getOption("repos")['CRAN']`. If `"development"` (the default), *ggeffects*
#'   is installed from the r-universe repository (<https://strengejacke.r-universe.dev/>).
#' @param force Logical, if `FALSE`, the update will only be installed if a newer
#'   version is available. Use `force=TRUE` to force installation, even if the
#'   version number for the locally installed package is identical to the latest
#'   development-version. Only applies when `source="development"`.
#' @param verbose Toggle messages.
#'
#' @return Invisible `NULL`.
#'
#' @examplesIf FALSE
#' # install latest development-version of ggeffects from the
#' # r-universe repository
#' install_latest()
#' @export
