I am not sure what you mean by safe. It is just the collated R files of https://github.com/r-lib/remotes, you can also read the code if you are concerned: https://install-github.me/MangoTheCat/goodpractice It should work on all platforms, please report bugs if it fails for you. > - why isn't it more common? I can't fully answer that, but at least partly because I am not promoting it, and the r-lib team is not promoting it, either. I believe that this is because we don't have consensus on whether it is a good idea to teach people to source "random" code from the web. > - are there yet better alternatives?
