install_from_swirl: Install a course from the official course repository

Description Usage Arguments See Also Examples

View source: R/install_course.R

Description

We are currently maintaining a central repository of contributed swirl courses at https://github.com/swirldev/swirl_courses. This function provides the easiest method of installing a course form the repository.

We have another repository at https://github.com/swirldev/swirl_misc, where we keep experimental features and content. The dev argument allows you to access this repository. Content in the swirl_misc repository is not guaranteed to work.

The central repository of swirl courses is mirrored at https://bitbucket.org/swirldevmirror/swirl_courses. If you cannot access GitHub you can download swirl courses from bitbucket by using the mirror = "bitbucket" option (see below).

Usage

install_from_swirl(course_name, dev = FALSE, mirror = "github")

Arguments

course_name

The name of the course you wish to install.

dev
