It’s been a while, but stanflow v0.2.0 has just been released by @Visruth.

stanflow is a metapackage a la tidyverse to provide a convenient way to install and manage R Stan packages. (See Soft release of a "tidyverse" style Stan R Package for the first post about stanflow.)

stanflow is still under active development by @Visruth, so breaking changes may be made (like in this release)–that also means that if you have a feature that you want, it can probably be added! Feel free to reply here, message @Visruth on Slack, or open an issue on GitHub. It would also be helpful for people to try it out and give feedback during these early stages of development.

This release has two major changes:

A dry_run option has been added, so you can see what a stanflow call will do before going ahead with it.
Much faster scanning! (see v0.2.0 by VisruthSK · Pull Request #42 · VisruthSK/stanflow · GitHub)

In addition to installing and managing packages, stanflow provides a very convenient function for anyone using Stan R packages in publications. stan_cite() scans a directory (or a provided list of files) to find all used functions from Stan R packages, and outputs a BibTeX with the correct citations for every package and function you used.
