Installation

(stable) developement versions:

install.packages(
  "dratful",
  repos = 
    c(
      options("repos")$repos, 
      "https://petermeissner.github.io/drat/"
    )
)

Putting packages into your repository (your own CRAN, your drat, ...)

The following will:

• git pull from remote
• check the package using devtools::check()
• then (if no errors and warnings were produced) build it into a temporary directory using devtools::build()
• then insert it into the drat repo (defaults to ~/git/drat) using drat::insertPackage()
• git add all files
• git commit with appropriate message
• git push to remote

dratful::dratful()

If less defaults and more fine control is needed check_build_publish() is a version of drat that allows to manipulate options for all three wrapped up fucntions.

Getting packages from a drat repository

While you can install packages from drat repositories as shown in the install section (using the repos option of install.packages()) or add repositories by using drat::addRepo() the dratful package offers an alternative way in line with devtools' install functions.

The following snippet showcases install_drat which takes a package name and a Github user name to use a Github hosted package repository as additional source for packages:

dratful::install_drat("dratful", "petermeissner")
