Is there a way to state the dependencies of an R package on github like 'requeriments.txt' from python?

Github has a "Dependency Graph" that is accessible from https://github.com/youruser/yourrepo/network/dependencies

Composer, RubyGems, Python PIP, Yarn, npm, Maven, all have a file that describes the package dependencies and these files are automatically read by Github and populates the "Dependency Graph".

I know that R Packages uses the DESCRIPTION file for that. But, there is any known way to tell GitHub about the dependencies?

Thanks in advance.

Not yet: the full list of Supported package ecosystems does not include R for now (Q1 2020)

The dependency graph is available for every public repository that define dependencies in a supported package ecosystem using a supported file format.
