[R-pkg-devel] Read CRAN package DESCRIPTION without downloading source

[Diego Hernangómez Herrero]

Hi:

I often search in https://github.com/cran , each repo is a package on
CRAN. Combined with GitHub Code Search you can identify packages with
common DESCRIPTION features.

Try this link: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acran%20path%3ADESCRIPTION%20Config%2Frextendr%2Fversion&type=code





Have a nice day!
