Unnecessary Output by dplyr

I love to use tidyverse when working on data but there is a bad habit that the authors have by spamming your output with messages they thing are informative. We need to have some basic ways to turn off this output if we are to use things link distil to publish actual manuscripts directly instead of just simple markdown documents.

For example, consider the case when you load in the library tidyverse. You get all this cruft which 99% of the time is just annoying.

library( tidyverse )

Registered S3 methods overwritten by 'dbplyr':

That is now what we want! There are several other options (like asking about conflicts, warning that group_by is not carried over after a summarize, etc), and we get it already. To turn these off put the following into your .Rprofile file at the root of your home directory and it will make a beginning stab at it!

tidyverse.quiet = TRUE
dplyr.summarise.inform = FALSE
