In rstudio.prefs: Manage 'RStudio' Preferences and Addin Shortcuts

Set RStudio Secondary Repository

Description

This function updates the RStudio preferences saved in the rstudio-prefs.json file to include the secondary repositories passed by the user. If a new name for an existing repository is passed by the user, the name will be updated in the JSON file.

Usage

use_rstudio_secondary_repo(...)

Arguments

...	series of named secondary repositories, e.g. ropensci = "https://ropensci.r-universe.dev"

Details

A note for users outside of the USA. If the country in .$cran_mirror$country has not been previously recorded in the JSON preferences file (typically, auto set by RStudio), the use_rstudio_secondary_repo() function will set "country" = "us".

Value

Invisibly returns the updated cran_mirror preference as a named list on success, or NULL if no updates were made (no changes, user aborted, or not in an interactive session).
