Install a course from the official course repository
We are currently maintaining a central repository of contributed swirl courses at https://github.com/swirldev/swirl_courses. This function provides the easiest method of installing a course form the repository.
We have another repository at
https://github.com/swirldev/swirl_misc, where we keep
experimental features and content. The dev argument allows
you to access this repository. Content in the swirl_misc repository
is not guaranteed to work.
The central repository of swirl courses is mirrored at
https://bitbucket.org/swirldevmirror/swirl_courses. If you cannot
access GitHub you can download swirl courses from bitbucket by using the
mirror = "bitbucket" option (see below).
