Getting Google Analytics Metrics

[cansavvy]

Purpose/implementation Section

What changes are being implemented in this Pull Request?

Goals: We want any useful stats from Google Analytics about our many many websites and courses.

What was your approach?

Ideally we can just call one function that collects an entire GitHub organization's repos' metrics.

Usage

authorize("google") # Login with an account that actually has a Google Analytics account -- this is key
accounts <- get_ga_user()

# Pick an account
account_id <- accounts$id[5]
stats_list <- all_ga_metrics(account_id = account_id)

This is a list of the stats I think are useful. I think it makes sense to functionalize this in such a way that allows folks to provide their own desired metrics they'd like to use. But that will probably be a future PR.

What do you think of outputting tibbles instead of dataframes? The googlesheets4 package does this here https://github.com/tidyverse/googlesheets4#read , and it looks much nicer in the console.

The authors of googlesheets4 uses as_tibble() to coerce the final output into tibbles.

[howardbaik]

The Usage functions work, but I think the trick now is to coerce those unpretty lists into readable tibbles.

Yes! That is what #16 and #17 are!
