find-and-install-pkgs.R
# Isolate packages used in project
used <- renv::dependencies()$Package
base <- rownames(installed.packages(priority = "base"))
pkgs <- setdiff(used, base) # don't install base packages
# To install:
purrr::walk(pkgs, \(pkg) pak::pak(pkg, ask = FALSE))
# To add to imports:
purrr::walk(pkgs, usethis::use_package)
