Turn off verbose messages when loading tidyverse using library() function

Question

How does one turn off the many lines of messages when loading tidyverse in R? It doesn't respect the quietly parameter (e.g., library(tidyverse, quietly = TRUE)). Sometimes I might want to see all of the packages it attaches and conflicts, but most of the time I can do without it or would like a less obnoxious report. Any hints on how to do this?

I'm using tidyverse 1.2.1 under R 3.4.3 on macOS 10.12.6, but am guessing this is same behavior on other systems.

Answer 1

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tidyverse))

Answer 2

An alternative to suppressPackageStartupMessages is to set options(tidyverse.quiet = TRUE), which you can include in your .Rprofile.
