I'm using more and more dev packages installed from github.
I find myself wondering if there is an easy way to update these packages? Essentially looking for something like update.packages() equivalent for install_github() (or indeed any other repo than CRAN).
Similar question for R-forge has some ideas:
Automatically update packages installed from R-forge
Maybe the best way to do this would be to install dev packages in their own separate directory:
How to specify lib directory when installing development version R Packages from github repository
keep a tab on packages as they are installed, and try re-installing list regularly.
Any thoughts?

Switch to the Browse tab, search for the package name, select it, then select Install). For all packages, delete the package folder, then run nuget install . For a single package, delete the package folder and use nuget install <id> to reinstall the same one.
To sync your forked repo with the parent or central repo on GitHub you: Create a pull request on GitHub.com to update your fork of the repository from the original repository, and. Run the git pull command in the terminal to update your local clone.
There are a number of packages that will do this:
@hrbrmstr recommends the dtupdate package
@jeborsel suggests adding a github repository as drat-repository via the drat package from Dirk Eddelbuettel. This will let you use update.packages() on it
