Usage

pull_repo_blfs(dir = NULL, download = NULL, boxdrive = TRUE)

Arguments

dir

the file path to the file directory

download

the file path to the download directory (if NULL will default to the Box Drive path)

boxdrive

logical, should Box drive be used?

Value

Checks for:

  • tracked files in the local directory that are newer than the tracker and prompts upload

  • tracked files that are new or newer on Box than the local directory and prompts download

Details

When you pull the updates from a GitHub repository that has large files tracked with Box LFS you also may need to update those files. This function will check the status of the tracked files in your local repository and determine if there are any files that uploaded or downloaded to maintain the current version.

Examples

 #create temp dir to modify files cleanly
  tmp <- blfs:::create_test_repo(box_lfs=TRUE, examples = FALSE,
  source_dir = system.file("extdata", package = "blfs"))

  box_tmp <- blfs:::create_test_boxdrive(source_dir = system.file("extdata", package = "blfs"))

  #put in new file path to "box"
   blfs:::add_box_loc(box_tmp, dir=tmp, type="path")

pull_repo_blfs(dir=tmp, download=box_tmp)
#> ℹ Checking for large files that need to be updated by Box-LFS...
#> ℹ Downloading files from Box...
#> ✔ Large files have been fetched from Box and put in repository.
#> ✔ Large files have been synced with Box.
