Open a Global Light Commons data package

Opens a local package or resolves a GitHub-hosted package at an immutable commit. Registered packages default to their latest passing revision.

Usage

glc_open(
  source,
  ref = "latest_pass",
  token = NULL,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  registry = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE
)

source: Registry id, owner/repository, GitHub URL, local package directory, or local datapackage.json path.
ref: Remote revision: "latest_pass", "current", or an exact 40-character commit SHA.
token: Optional GitHub token. When omitted, GITHUB_PAT and then GITHUB_TOKEN are consulted.
cache_dir: Optional explicit persistent cache directory. The default uses session-temporary storage for remote reads.
registry: Optional registry object, URL, or local JSON path.
quiet: Suppress informational messages. Warnings remain visible.

A glc_package handle.

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
package <- glc_open("tscnlab/melidos-iztech-glc-dataset")

}
