## Overview

tidyverse is a small R package that provides a convenient entry point to the core tidyverse: a user loads the package, which attaches the core packages and reports masking conflicts. Users can also inspect conflicts after loading other packages and check for outdated packages. The README documents these behaviors, but no source excerpts were provided, so the edges below cite the README rather than asserting implementation details beyond those documented. The README also describes additional packages installed with tidyverse; their installation mechanics are not shown.

Main entry points: [`R/attach.R`](https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyverse/blob/main/R/attach.R) (Attach tidyverse), [`R/conflicts.R`](https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyverse/blob/main/R/conflicts.R) (Conflict report), [`R/update.R`](https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyverse/blob/main/R/update.R) (Update check)
