install: Replace devtools::install_github() with ghit::install_github() #20

Closed HenrikBengtsson closed 7 years ago

HenrikBengtsson commented 8 years ago

Use ghit::install_github() instead of devtools::install_github() because the former is much more lightweight. See https://github.com/leeper/ghit

HenrikBengtsson commented 8 years ago

Three alternatives exists now:

devtools::install_github()
ghit::install_github()
remotes::install_github()

The first two are on CRAN. callr.org/install should check if either is installed, otherwise install light-weight ghit.

UPDATE: The remotes package sounds the most promising. gaborcsardi says he'll soon submit remotes to CRAN and it has no dependencies and uses plain R code :)

UPDATE: remotes is on CRAN since 2016-09-10, so should make use of it, i.e.

remotes::install_github(...)
