tidytuesdayR 1.3.2.9000

tt_meta() now validates that image alt text is 1000 characters or fewer (Mastodon limit) (#163).

[messaging] Missing GitHub credentials now produce a clearer error message (#135).
[bug fix] tt_curate_data() now works in Positron and other IDEs, not just RStudio. It also gains an open parameter for consistency with other curation functions (#139).
[feature] tt_meta() now reads attribution defaults from getOption("tidytuesdayR.attribution"), getOption("tidytuesdayR.bluesky"), getOption("tidytuesdayR.linkedin"), and getOption("tidytuesdayR.mastodon"). Set these in your .Rprofile via usethis::edit_r_profile() to avoid re-entering them with each submission (#142).
[feature] tt_submit() now handles submitter forks more reliably: it correctly discovers existing forks, syncs them with the latest version of the TidyTuesday repository, and accurately determines which files need updating (#135, #147).
[feature] tt_submit() now verifies that CSVs and images have acceptable sizes before attempting to submit the pull request (#140, #141).

[feature] Added functions tt_clean(), tt_save_dataset(), tt_intro(), tt_meta(), and tt_submit() for curation and submission of datasets for use in TidyTuesday. See vignette("curating", package = "tidytuesdayR") for details. (#117, #118, #120, #121, #123, #124, #130)
[feature] Added function tt_curate_data() with step-by-step script for curation and submission of datasets as described in vignette("curating", package = "tidytuesdayR"). (#128)
[bug fix] use_tidytemplate() now explicitly takes an ignore argument, rather than passing (almost entirely overruled) ... through to usethis::use_template(). (#76, #113)
[bug fix] Attempting to load data for particularly strange, early weeks (2018 weeks 7 and 8) now errors more informatively. (#90, #113)
[maintenance] The Language of this package is officially declared in the DESCRIPTION as "en-US". (#114)
[maintenance] The {usethis} package is now Suggested, rather than Imported, since it is not necssary for the core functionality of this package. (#117)
[maintenance] We now support versions of R >= 4.1.0. (#126)

[maintenance] tidytuesdayR now uses the {gh} package to manage all interactions with the GitHub API. This should make the package more stable and easier to maintain. (#78)
[maintenance] tidytuesdayR is now maintained by the Data Science Learning Community.

[bug fix] During testing it was identified that 502 errors from github servers would cause the code to error out. Now it will retry a few times before giving an error.
[bug fix] No internet connection bug on rstudio resolved due to malformed url checks (https).
[bug fix] Partial argument matching correction in tt_download_file.character(), tt_parse_blob(), and in tests. (thanks @mgirlich)

[feature] Provide a template Rmd for users, populated with date and proper tt_load call
[bug fix] On CRAN Solaris build, the :link:(link) emoji caused issues. Added fix to change encoding to native.
[bug fix] tt_available() printed out twice. This has been corrected.

Massive update to all the internals of tidytuesdayR
[feature] allow for using authentication using github PAT's
finer control of downloading files via the download_files argument of tt_load()
internal functions all now use GET arguments to use the github API
