R：从github / version安装软件包？

Question

I had previously installed haven from CRAN, but then installed haven from Github using

devtools::install_github("hadley/haven")

and wanted to check whether I got the correct version. sessionInfo() says, among other things:

other attached packages:
[1] haven_0.2.0 

However, this is also the version from CRAN. How can I be sure this is the current version from Github?

Answer 1

Use session_info from the devtools package:

> devtools::session_info()
