List Branches of the sap Repository

Source: R/list_apps.R
list_apps.Rd

This function clones the 'sap' GitHub repository, extracts the list of branches along with their last update time, and then returns this information as a tibble. The repository is cloned to a temporary directory, which is removed after the function executes.

Usage

list_apps(regex = NULL)

Arguments

regex

An optional character string containing a regular expression (regex) to filter branch names

Value

A data frame with two columns: branch (the branch name) and last_updated (the date the branch was last updated), ordered alphabetically by branch name. Branches named HEAD, main, and gh-pages are excluded.

How it works

The function operates in several steps:

  1. It saves the current working directory to revert back to it later

  2. It clones the 'sap' repository from GitHub into a temporary directory

  3. It lists all branches of the cloned repository

  4. It separates the branch names into source and branch_name

  5. If regex is supplied, it filters branches to those matching the pattern

  6. It cleans up by deleting the temporary directory and restoring the original working directory
