Keep Up-To-Date with Non-CRAN Package Updates

Description

CRAN and Bioconductor users have mechanisms to update their installed packages but those of us who live in the devtools GitHub world are levt to intall_github all on our own. This package fills that gap by providing a function that attempts to figure out which packages were installed from GitHub and then tries to figure out which ones have updates (i.e. the GitHub version is > local version). It provides an option (not recommended) to (optionally, selectively) auto-update any packages with newer GitHub development versions.

The following functions are implemented:

• github_update - find, report and optionally update packages installed from or available on github
