of the functionality of the fastverse package.

)character. The name of the child-verse e.g. 'myMLverse'.
character. The title of the child-verse e.g. 'My Machine Learning Verse'.
character. A vector of core packages for the new verse.
character. A quoted person statement giving the package maintainer.
If you do not intend to substantially modify the code of the resulting source package, role = "cre" is appropriate. See Examples.
character. A quoted version number for the new package.
character. The directory in which a source directory dir/name for the package will be created.
character. Set the colour-theme for text printed to the console. The options are "fastverse" or "tidyverse".
logical. TRUE installs the package using install.packages(dir/name, repos = NULL, type = "source", ...).
logical. FALSE will remove the source directory (dir/name) again after installation.
further arguments to install.packages.
fastverse_child returns NULL invisibly.
This function creates and installs a source package according to the users specification. For that it downloads the 'child' branch of the GitHub repository, which was specifically set up to produce a new verse, unzips it into a source directory, and substitutes the user inputs into the files. The package is then installed from source, and (optionally) the source directory is removed again.
fastverse children inherit 90% of the functionality of the fastverse package: they are not permanently globally extensible and can not bear children themselves,
but can be configured for projects (using a .name config file) and extended in the session.
Use of this function requires an internet connection but no additional R packages (like devtools, remotes or roxygen2).
