Overview

About

Maintained by Han ChenFirst published 2022-02-281 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

'FastGit' https://doc.fastgit.org/ works like a mirror of 'GitHub' to make significant acceleration. 'fgitR' is a package to do git operation with 'FastGit' automatically.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("fgitR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("FastGitORG/fgitR")
