Manually Unignore Files or Directories in .gitignore and .Rbuildignore

projr_unignore_manual.Rd

These functions allow manual addition of files and directories to the .gitignore and .Rbuildignore files after the projr-managed block, thereby forcing them to be not ignored.

  • .unignore_manual: General function to unignore both files and directories in both .gitignoreand.Rbuildignore`. If a path does not exist, it is treated as a file.

  • .unignore_manual_dir: Specifically unignores directories in both .gitignoreand.Rbuildignore`.

  • .unignore_manual_file: Specifically unignores files in both .gitignoreand.Rbuildignore`.

  • .unignore_manual_dir_git and .unignore_manual_file_git: Add directories or files explicitly (with a ! prefix) to .gitignore.

  • .unignore_manual_dir_rbuild and .unignore_manual_file_rbuild: Add directories or files explicitly (with a ! prefix) to .Rbuildignore.

Usage

projr_unignore_manual(unignore)

projr_unignore_manual_dir(unignore)

projr_unignore_manual_file(unignore)

projr_unignore_manual_file_git(unignore)

projr_unignore_manual_dir_git(unignore)

projr_unignore_manual_file_rbuild(unignore)

projr_unignore_manual_dir_rbuild(unignore)

Arguments

unignore

A character vector of file or directory paths to be unignored. Paths must be valid non-empty strings.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE if the operation succeeds, or FALSE if the input contains invalid (empty) paths.

Details

These functions provide fine-grained control for cases where users want to undo any ignoring behavior for specific paths permanently. They do not interact with the automated ignore management system of projr.

  • Non-existent paths provided to .unignore_manual` are assumed to be files.

  • For .gitignore, unignored directories are automatically appended with /** if missing, then prepended with !, ensuring proper Git unignore syntax.

  • For .Rbuildignore, paths are converted to regular expressions using glob2rx(), and then prepended with ! for compatibility with R's build tools.

See also

.ignore_manual for manually ignoring paths, and .ignore_auto for dynamically managed ignore entries.
