use_package() adds a CRAN package dependency to DESCRIPTION and offers a
little advice about how to best use it. use_dev_package() adds a
dependency on an in-development package, adding the dev repo to Remotes so
it will be automatically installed from the correct location.
Usage
use_package(package, type = "Imports", min_version = NULL)
use_dev_package(package, type = "Imports", remote = NULL)
Arguments
package
Name of package to depend on.
type
Type of dependency: must be one of "Imports", "Depends",
"Suggests", "Enhances", or "LinkingTo" (or unique abbreviation). Matching
is case insensitive.
min_version
Optionally, supply a minimum version for the package.
Set to TRUE to use the currently installed version.
remote
By default, an OWNER/REPO GitHub remote is inserted.
Optionally, you can supply a character string to specify the remote, e.g.
"gitlab::jimhester/covr", using any syntax supported by the remotes package.
