When you want to install an R package on GitHub, but you can’t access GitHub, this function helps you download and install the package on GitHub via the proxy website https://gh-proxy.com/ or https://ghfast.top/, which is in real-time sync with GitHub.

Installation

# Install development version from GitLab
remotes::install_gitlab("chuxinyuan/ipkg")
# Install from CRAN
install.packages("ipkg")

Usage

Install the development version of the R package on GitHub. Take the ‘xfun’ package as an example.

install_github("yihui/xfun")

Download file from GitHub via the proxy website. for example:

download_file(
 url = "https://github.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/raw/main/neiss/products.tsv",
 destfile = "products.tsv",
 quiet = TRUE
)
