如何在R包“`DESCRIPTION`”的“`Remotes`”字段中包括子目录

Question

假设我想在我的R包中使用一个依赖关系的开发版本，因为它位于某个GitHub分支上，但更复杂的是它驻留在一个子目录中。

例如，如果我想依赖来自这个分支的glmmTMB包，我可以使用remotes下载它，如下所示：

remotes::install_github("glmmTMB/glmmTMB@ci_tweaks", subdir = "glmmTMB")

如果这个包是基于子目录的而不是，我可以在DESCRIPTION文件中包含以下内容：

Remotes: glmmTMB/glmmTMB@ci_tweaks

但是我不知道如何在这里指定一个子目录来获取包。

Answer 1

您应该知道remotes为您创建了所有需要的描述文件字段。所以我运行remotes::install_github("glmmTMB/glmmTMB@ci_tweaks", subdir = "glmmTMB")，然后运行packageDescription("glmmTMB")。请查看添加了多少远程文件和Github连接文件。例如，也有RemoteSubdir: glmmTMB。

Description: Fit linear and generalized linear mixed models with various extensions,
          including zero-inflation. The models are fitted using maximum likelihood
          estimation via 'TMB' (Template Model Builder). Random effects are assumed to be
          Gaussian on the scale of the linear predictor and are integrated out using the
          Laplace approximation. Gradients are calculated using automatic differentiation.
