This function is vectorised on repo
so you can install multiple
packages in a single command.
install_github( repo, ref = "HEAD", subdir = NULL, auth_token = github_pat(quiet), host = "api.github.com", dependencies = NA, upgrade = c("default", "ask", "always", "never"), force = FALSE, quiet = FALSE, build = TRUE, build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual", "--no-build-vignettes"), build_manual = FALSE, build_vignettes = FALSE, repos = getOption("repos"), type = getOption("pkgType"), ... )

build_opts | Options to pass to |
build_manual | If |
build_vignettes | If |
repos | A character vector giving repositories to use. |
