Overview

The gitr package is a light-weight, dependency-free, API to access system-level git commands from within R. Contains wrappers and defaults for common data science workflows as well as Z-shell plugin aliases. Generalized API syntax is also available. A system installation of git is required.


Main Features

  • The system call wrapper: [git()]

  • Common git tasks:

    • committing and commit stack
    • branches
    • pull requests
    • tags
    • situation report
  • ZSH git plugin aliases

    • all the common aliases from the ZSH-git-plugin

Workflows and examples (TODO)

This section will become more fleshed out in future versions of gitr

In the meantime please see the package README
