git_ignore: Modify .gitignore file

In cjvanlissa/worcs: Workflow for Open Reproducible Code in Science

Modify .gitignore file

Description

Arguments passed through ... are added to the .gitignore file. Elements already present in the file are modified. When ignore = TRUE, the arguments are added to the .gitignore file, which will cause 'Git' to not track them.

When ignore = FALSE, the arguments are prepended with !, This works as a "double negation", and will cause 'Git' to track the files.

Usage

git_ignore(..., ignore = TRUE, repo = ".")

Arguments

...	Any number of character arguments, representing files to be added to the .gitignore file.
ignore	Logical. Whether or not 'Git' should ignore these files.
repo	a path to an existing repository, or a git_repository object as returned by git_open, git_init or git_clone.

Value

No return value. This function is called for its side effects.

Examples

dir.create(".git")
git_ignore("ignorethis.file")
unlink(".git", recursive = TRUE)
file.remove(".gitignore")
