How are packages installed with install_github() updated in RStudio?

RStudio just calls the same underlying R functions, so it doesn't make any difference that you're using RStudio. Currently, there's no automatic way to update packages installed from github.
And to clarify a bit more: this means if you install a patched version
of something from github that is newer than what is on CRAN, then call
update.packages(), you'll keep the new one as long as the version number
is higher than the one on CRAN.
On the other hand, if you run install.packages("foo"), then you'll
install the CRAN version of foo even if you already have a newer one
from github.

Hi Michal, Because RStudio seems to use its own method of updating you might be better off asking in their forum. John Kane Kingston ON Canada

Subject: [R] How are packages installed with install_github() updated in
RStudio?
Hallo.
I use RStudio. Because of a bug in the latest CRAN version of dplyr, I
installed the GitHub version with install_github(). Now I wonder what
happens when there is a new version. Does RStudio update the packages
installed from GitHub? If so, does it replace it with the new CRAN
version,
or a new GitHub version?
Many thanks for you answer,
Michal Kvasnicka
