dev_mode

Activate and deactivate development mode.

Description

When activated, dev_mode creates a new library for storing installed packages. This new library is automatically created when dev_mode is activated if it does not already exist. This allows you to test development packages in a sandbox, without interfering with the other packages you have installed.

Usage

dev_mode(on = NULL, path = getOption("devtools.path"))

Arguments

`on`	turn dev mode on (`TRUE`) or off (`FALSE`). If omitted will guess based on whether or not `path` is in `.libPaths()`
`path`	directory to library.

Examples
