An R package for managing and seamlessly switching between sets of installed R packages.
The current documentation consists only of one vignette which isn't very in depth. From the package vignette I wasn't able to learn how to create a manifest file (the `publishManifest()`...
When installing a package from GitHub using `remotes::install_github()` (similarly with `devtools`) and then writing a manifest, the GitHub repo isn't automatically detected. This is manifested in two ways: 1. If...
