p_load_gh: Load One or More GitHub Packages

In pacman: Package Management Tool

Description

This function is a wrapper for install_github which is the same as install_github and require. It checks to see if a package is installed, if not it attempts to install the package from GitHub.

Usage

p_load_gh(..., char, install = TRUE, update = getOption("pac_update"),
  dependencies = TRUE)

Arguments

char	Character vector containing repository address to load. If you are calling p_load_gh from within a function (or just having difficulties calling it using a character vector input) then pass your character vector of packages to load to this parameter directly.
install	logical. If TRUE will attempt to install a package not found in the library.
update	logical. If TRUE will attempt to update all out of date packages. Default allows the user to set a "pac_update" in his/her .Rprofile.
dependencies	logical. If TRUE necessary dependencies will be installed as well.
...	Repository address(es) in the format username/repo[/subdir][@ref|#pull]. Note that this must be a character string.
