Most efficient way to bring all packages on your system up to the newes version. Use with

yay()Only update CRAN packages due to the usage of old.packages(). Let me know if you have a better way to find outdated packages.
| #' Update all packages using pak | |
| #' | |
| #' @details | |
| #' Queries old packages held in your package library and updates them. | |
| #' | |
| #' | |
| #' @param lib Package library to install the packages to. Note that _all_ | |
| #' dependent packages will be installed here, even if they are already | |
| #' installed in another library. The only exceptions are base and recommended | |
| #' packages installed in `.Library`. These are not duplicated in `lib`, unless | |
| #' a newer version of a recommended package is needed. | |
| #' @param upgrade When `FALSE`, the default, pak does the minimum amount of work | |
| #' to give you the latest version(s) of `pkg`. It will only upgrade dependent | |
| #' packages if `pkg`, or one of their dependencies explicitly require a higher | |
| #' version than what you currently have. It will also prefer a binary package | |
| #' over to source package, even it the binary package is older. | |
| #' | |
| #' When `upgrade = TRUE`, pak will ensure that you have the latest version(s) | |
| #' of `pkg` and all their dependencies. | |
| #' @param ask Whether to ask for confirmation when installing a different | |
| #' version of a package that is already installed. Installations that only add | |
| #' new packages never require confirmation. | |
| #' @param dependencies What kinds of dependencies to install. Most commonly one | |
| #' of the following values: | |
| #' - `NA`: only required (hard) dependencies, | |
| #' - `TRUE`: required dependencies plus optional and development | |
| #' dependencies, | |
| #' - `FALSE`: do not install any dependencies. (You might end up with a | |
| #' non-working package, and/or the installation might fail.) See [Package | |
| #' dependency types] for other possible values and more information about | |
| #' package dependencies. | |
| #' @return (Invisibly) A data frame with information about the installed | |
| #' package(s). | |
| #' @param static_v8 automatically download a static version of libv8 (for V8 | |
| #' package) | |
| #' | |
| #' @export | |
