Retrieve the current version of lissyrtools from the GitHub repository

Fetches the latest version of the lissyrtools package from its DESCRIPTION file on GitHub. This allows comparison with the locally installed version. Using an outdated version may result in missing support for the most recent countries, datasets, or variable revisions, which can cause inaccurate outputs in functions that rely on up-to-date metadata.

Usage

check_github_version()

Value

A character string indicating the current version on GitHub.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
library(lissyrtools)
library(utils)
library(assertthat)

local_version <- as.character(utils::packageVersion("lissyrtools"))
remote_github_version <- check_github_version()

assertthat::assert_that(local_version == remote_github_version)
} # }
