drat

Repository of R packages for Schola Empirica

Install packages from this repository like so (example for the reschola package):

options(repos = c(getOption("repos"), "scholaempirica" = "https://scholaempirica.github.io/drat"))
install.packages("reschola")

Or, to gain more direct access to this package repository, put this in your .Rprofile:

local({r <- getOption("repos")
# add drat repo
r["scholaempirica"] <- "https://scholaempirica.github.io/drat"
options(repos=r)})

…then you will be able to do just

install.packages("reschola")

without any prior commands, even though the reschola package is not on CRAN.

This may be preferable to using e.g. remotes::install_github("scholaempirica/reschola") since you

• always get a release, rather than the latest snapshot, which may be broken.
• get a binary package if available
• get a package with the vignettes built by default

Currently the repository contains the following packages:

• reschola for reproducible research at Schola Empirica
• redoc, a custom patch of noamross/redoc fixing documentatio and an RStudio addin

You can run available.packages(repos = 'https://scholaempirica.github.io/drat') to see what is included.

Source code for all the packages is hosted on Github.
