In ropensci/codemetar: Generate 'CodeMeta' Metadata for R Packages

For optimal results you need a good internet connection.

The package queries

• utils::available.packages() for CRAN and Bioconductor packages;

• GitHub API via the gh package, if it finds a GitHub repo URL in DESCRIPTION or as git remote. GitHub API is queried to find the preferred README, and the repo topics. If you use codemetar for many packages having a GITHUB_PAT is better;

• R-hub sysreqs API to parse SystemRequirements.

If your machine is offline, a more minimal codemeta.json will be created. If your internet connection is poor or there are firewalls, the codemeta creation might indefinitely hang.
