The dreaded R 4.0 update & packages we'll need about pathviewr HOT 1 CLOSED

Also, you may encounter a HTTP error 403 error that tells you you've exceeded the API rate limit if you repeatedly use devtools::install_github(). A solution is to add a personal access token (GITHUB_PAT) to your .Renviron

See this page for a helpful guide: https://happygitwithr.com/github-pat.html

The relevant steps are:

• Use usethis::browse_github_pat() to create a PAT. No need to check off all the options, but do make sure that all the ones listed under repo and read:packages are checked-off
• Use usethis::edit_r_environ() and add a line that says:
  GITHUB_PAT = <your_longass_pat_string>
• Make sure the .Renviron file ends with a blank line. Then save it & restart R and you should be good to go.
