drat
Repository for easy forkingdrat
(CRAN, GitHub, docs) makes it easy to host your own
CRAN-like repositories for packages (or data).
Many users have started their own drat
repo by forking the original GitHub
repo – but as time passes this code repo
accumulates more code for drat
, as well as
documentation
making it less of an ideal place to start for your own repo. So this repo offers an alternative:
drat
repo.docs/
folder in the main branch:Note, however, that you currently must use the drat
package directly
from its GitHub repo in order to use
GitHub Pages off docs/
in the main branch—and you need to enable this,
e.g. via options(dratBranch="docs")
as the released version only supports
a gh-pages
branch. So in a sense this repo is currently “experimental” as
is the support in the not-yet-released drat
version.
This repo was initiated (using command dratPackage()
) with the source and
windows binary of the last CRAN release of drat
. You can delete either or
both (for example via command pruneRepo()
) and then
add your own (via insertPackage()
).
