Modify .gitignore file — git

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")
#> [1] TRUE
