"I need to see what the project looked like at a certain version!"

Source: R/exo-worktree.R
exo_worktree.Rd

I want to create a folder containing the project as it was at tag v2, to read the text file. The tool for that is git worktree. https://masalmon.eu/2024/01/23/git-worktree/

Usage

exo_worktree(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.

git log, git worktree, git tag.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
parent_path <- withr::local_tempdir()
path <- exo_worktree(parent_path = parent_path)
}
