"Hey I'd like to remove these untracked files I created to test stuff!"

If debugging for instance created now useless untracked files and directories, there's no need to remove them "manually". The tool for that is git clean:

• git clean -n for a dry run;

• git clean -f to run it; Add -d to also remove directories. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clean.

Usage

exo_clean_dir(parent_path)

Arguments

parent_path

Path where to create the exercise repo

Value

The path to the new project

Workflow

Running the function will create the exercise as a new folder in parent_path. If called from RStudio or Positron, the function will open a new R session in that IDE. If not, the user will need to navigate to the path returned by the function, and launch an R session from there. The new R session will display messages about what challenge to solve, and running the tip() function from that new R session will display additional guiance.
