Facilitate Citation of R Packages

Facilitates the citation of R packages used in analysis projects. Scans project for packages used, gets their citations, and produces a document with citations in the preferred bibliography format, ready to be pasted into reports or manuscripts. Alternatively, grateful can be used directly within an R Markdown or Quarto document.

I would like to acknowledge the presence of Aboriginal peoples in the country of Australia prior to colonisation. Australian history existed long before the arrival of explorers, and to this effect, we all have a migrant history. This history should be recognised when considering Australian identity.

@rands Agreed. And Mastodon is where the cool kids are, enjoying brunch, hanging out, making wooden ramps to jump their bikes in the middle of the street, saying hello to one another, showing off the cool zine they made, taking street photos, listening and sharing music, acknowledging the awesome little things their neighbors are doing, pointing out interesting things to those around them, providing jumper cables when needed.
