In cynkra/fledge: Smoother Change Tracking and Versioning for R Packages

Once per machine

Install from CRAN using:

install.packages("fledge")

Install from cynkra's R-universe (development version) using:

install.packages("fledge", repos = c("https://cynkra.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org"))

Or install from GitHub (development version as well) using:

remotes::install_github("cynkra/fledge")

If you are used to making workflow packages (e.g. devtools) available for all your interactive work, you might enjoy loading fledge in your .Rprofile.

Once per package

• Your package needs to have a remote that indicates the default branch (e.g. GitHub remote) or to be using the same default branch name as your global/project init.defaultbranch.

• Add a mention of fledge usage in your contributing guide, as contributors might not know about it. A comment is added to the top of NEWS.md, but it tends to be ignored occasionally.

For full use

• If your package...

• is brand-new, remember to run fledge::bump_version() regularly.

• has already undergone some development, it is not too late to jump on the train! Run fledge::bump_version() and then fledge::finalize_version().

For light use

• Your package needs a development version header as produced by usethis::use_development_version().

# mypackage (development version)
