Create a new github_remote — github

This is an internal function to create a new github_remote, users should generally have no need for it.

github_remote(
  repo,
  ref = "HEAD",
  subdir = NULL,
  auth_token = github_pat(),
  sha = NULL,
  host = "api.github.com",
  ...
)

Arguments

repo	Repository address in the format `username/repo[/subdir][@ref\|#pull\|@*release]`. Alternatively, you can specify `subdir` and/or `ref` using the respective parameters (see below); if both are specified, the values in `repo` take precedence.
ref	Desired git reference. Could be a commit, tag, or branch name, or a call to `github_pull()` or `github_release()`. Defaults to `"HEAD"`, which means the default branch on GitHub and for git remotes. See setting-the-default-branch for more details.
subdir	subdirectory within repo that contains the R package.
auth_token	To install from a private repo, generate a personal access token (PAT) in "https://github.com/settings/tokens" and supply to this argument. This is safer than using a password because you can easily delete a PAT without affecting any others. Defaults to the `GITHUB_PAT` environment variable.
host	GitHub API host to use. Override with your GitHub enterprise hostname, for example, `"github.hostname.com/api/v3"`.
...	Other arguments passed on to `utils::install.packages()`.
