ghclass
Tools for managing GitHub class organization accounts
This R package is designed to enable instructors to efficiently manage their courses on GitHub. It has a wide range of functionality for managing organizations, teams, repositories, and users on GitHub and helps automate most of the tedious and repetitive tasks around creating and distributing assignments.
Install ghclass from CRAN:
install.packages("ghclass")
Install the development version package from GitHub:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rundel/ghclass")
See package vignette for details on how to use the package.
Peer Review
In order to speed up the process of getting this package submitted to
CRAN we have decided to move the peer review functionality to the
peer_review
branch for the time being. This functionality will be
included in the CRAN release as soon as possible, hopefully in the next,
v0.2.1, release. If you were using this functionality and need access to
a version of ghclass with it then you can install this branch using:
remotes::install_github("rundel/ghclass@peer_review")
GitHub & default branches
Recently, GitHub has announced that they will be changing the default
branch for all new repositories on their platform to main
from
master
. Details on this change and the timeline for implementation are
available here. In anticipation of
these changes we have updated ghclass
to support alternative default
branch names across the entire package. See the FAQ in the Getting
Started vignette for more details.
