git_shorthand_base_url

Introduced in rv v0.22.0

rv add supports an owner/repo shorthand for installing packages straight from a git repository, without writing out the full --git configuration (e.g. rv add r-lib/cli). By default, this shorthand resolves against https://github.com.

git_shorthand_base_url overrides that base URL, which is useful for organizations hosting their packages on GitHub Enterprise or another self-hosted git server.

Example

rproject.toml

[project]
name = "custom git shorthand"
r_version = "4.5"
repositories = [
    { alias = "PPM", url = "https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest" },
]
git_shorthand_base_url = "https://git.mycompany.com/scm"
dependencies = [
    { name = "my-pkg", git = "https://git.mycompany.com/scm/my-team/my-pkg", branch = "main" },
]

With this configuration, rv add my-team/my-pkg resolves to https://git.mycompany.com/scm/my-team/my-pkg.

Default: https://github.com
