Description

github is a wrapper for [github install](help github) command. it uses the gitget.dta data set, which is installed with github package to obtain the username/reponame of the package. if multiple packages with identical name are found, the command describes them in a table without installing any module.

by default, the command installs the development version of a repository. if you wish to install a stable release rather than the developmnt version, add the stable option or specify the version within the version option.

Example

installing markdoc package and its dependencies

. gitget markdoc

installing the latest stable version of markdoc package and its dependencies

. gitget markdoc, stable
