List Branches of the sap Repository

Source: R/list_apps.R
list_apps.Rd

Clones the sap GitHub repository to a temporary directory, then returns its branches and their last update times as a data frame. The temporary directory is removed before the function returns, so nothing is left in your working directory.

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

  1. Saves the current working directory so it can be restored later

  2. Clones the sap repository from GitHub into a temporary directory

  3. Lists all branches of the cloned repository

  4. Separates each branch name into source and branch

  5. Filters the branches to those matching regex, if one is supplied

  6. Deletes the temporary directory and restores the original working directory
