Details

desc_add_author_gh is a convenience function, it adds the GitHub user as an author, and it needs the gh package to be installed. The full name is parsed using as.person and collapsing the given name and the family name in order to e.g. have the first and middle names together as given name. This approach might be limited to some full name structures.
