Find installed package SHA hash in R

I have installed a package from GitHub in R long ago using remotes::install_github. Since then, the package has had several new commits, and all the commits have the same package version. I want to find out which GitHub commit was the one I installed the first time.

Solution

  • package_info() can be used:

    install.packages("devtools")
library("devtools")
package_info("<package_name>")
