## Overview

The tidyselect package is the backend of functions like `dplyr::select()`
or `dplyr::pull()` as well as several tidyr verbs. It allows you to
create selecting verbs that are consistent with other tidyverse packages.

* To learn about the selection syntax as a user of dplyr or tidyr, read
  the user-friendly [Selection language](https://tidyselect.r-lib.org/reference/language.html) reference.

* To learn how to implement tidyselect in your own functions, read the
  [Get started](https://tidyselect.r-lib.org/articles/tidyselect.html)
  vignette.

* To learn exactly how the tidyselect syntax is interpreted, read the
  [Technical descrition](https://tidyselect.r-lib.org/articles/syntax.html)
  vignette.
