Details

If the package was installed from a r-universe, the function will return the git repository URL and commit hash of the package, rather than the r-universe URL. E.g. this package is installed from the CTU-Bern r-universe, but the function returns the URL of the GitHub repository (https://github.com/SwissClinicalTrialOrganisation/validation) and the commit hash.
