Download and register git repository containing registrations

Note that these extra registrations will be downloaded to a standard location on your hard drive that will be used for one session to the next. See examples and local_reg_dir_for_url.

download_reg_repo(url, localdir = NULL, ...)

Arguments

url

Location of one or more remote git repositories. Can accept partial github specifications of the form "<user>/<repo>".

localdir

Full path to local checkout location of git repository. When localdir=NULL, the default, a sensible location is chosen using the rappdirs function.

...

additional arguments passed to git2r::clone e.g. credentials for private repo.

Value

This function is principally called for its side effect. A path to the location on disk containing added registrations is returned invisibly.
