Installation

devtools::install_github("bencapistrant/brfssR")

How the raw data files are stored

The raw data files (.XPT) are stored via Git Large File System (LFS) (https://git-lfs.github.com/). LFS is a way to circumvent Github's limitation on large files. It replaces a file with a pointer to its storage space in a LFS cache (source: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-lfs). The .rda files should not be stored via LFS as the package will not be installable via devtools::install_github() and the .rda files will not be loadable; you will instead get the pointers if you try to open the .rda files.
