start_fresh: A 'safer' command-line restart (for RStudio)
In burchill/zplyr: Zach Burchill's Personal Functions
start_fresh R Documentation
A 'safer' command-line restart (for RStudio)
Description
Removes all currently loaded objects and restarts RStudio, after prompting
the user if they really want to do it. Do NOT change/specify the counter
argument unless you set it to 2, which forces a restart without prompting.
Usage
start_fresh(counter = 0)
Arguments
counter
Do not specify unless you set it to 2, which will force a restart without prompting the user.
Details
When I want to restart my RStudio R session anew, I have, in the past,
clicked on the broom icon, clicked 'yes' to remove all the current objects
in the environment, clicked on 'Session', and then clicked 'Restart R'.
This function does all that with one command, and prompts the user to confirm,
as a way of being safe.
This code takes inspiration and credit from two sources: Adam Lee Perelman's answer at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6313079/quit-and-restart-a-clean-r-session-from-within-r, and Romain Francois' nothing package (https://github.com/romainfrancois/nothing/blob/master/R/zzz.R).
Value
NULL (because I'm a lazy programmer)
