\name{update_dev_pkg}
\alias{update_dev_pkg}
\title{Perform update of development version of a package}
\description{
Downloads and installs latest development version only when a new commit is available which has also passed all tests. Defaults are set to update \code{data.table}, other packages can be used as well. Their repository has to include git commit information in PACKAGES file.
}
\usage{update_dev_pkg(object="data.table",
repo="https://Rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table",
field="Revision", type=getOption("pkgType"), lib=NULL, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{ character scalar, package name. }
\item{repo}{ character scalar, url of package devel repository. }
\item{field}{ character scalar, metadata field to use in PACKAGES file and
DESCRIPTION file, default \code{"Revision"}. }
\item{type}{ character scalar, default \code{getOption("pkgType")}, used
to define if package has to be installed from sources, binaries or both. }
\item{lib}{ character scalar, library location where package is meant to
be upgraded. }
\item{\dots}{ passed to \code{\link[utils]{install.packages}}. }
}
\details{
In case if a devel repository does not provide binaries user will need development tools installed for package compilation, like \emph{Rtools} on Windows, and eventually set \code{type="source"}.
}
\note{
Package namespace is unloaded before attempting to install newer version.
}
\value{
