Usage

library(thankr)

# identifies the packages currently loaded in your session
shoulders() # equal to shoulders("session")

# shows all maintainers of your package library
shoulders("library")

# find out about a specific package
# by default it lists all dependencies of that package as well
shoulders("package", "ropenaq", include_dependencies = FALSE)
shoulders("package", "ropenaq")

Everything here is still work in progress. Any feedback appreciated.

Find out what packages you have already starred on Github. Inspired by the node module appreciate.

gh_starred(c("ropenaq", "Rcpp", "dplyr"))

If you are developing a package, you can call appreciate in your working directory. If there is a DESCRIPTION file, it parses it and checks if you have already starred the dependencies on github. The function fails, if the working directory does not contain a DESCRIPTION file.
