blob_create function

Create blob from file on disk

Read a file from the filesystem and write its content to the Object Database as a loose blob. The method is vectorized and accepts a vector of files to create blobs from.

blob_create(repo = ".", path = NULL, relative = TRUE)

Arguments

• repo: The repository where the blob(s) will be written. Can be a bare repository. A git_repository object, or a path to a repository, or NULL. If the repo

  argument is NULL, the repository is searched for with discover_repository in the current working directory.

• path: The file(s) from which the blob will be created.

• relative: TRUE if the file(s) from which the blob will be created is relative to the repository's working dir. Default is TRUE.

Returns

list of S3 class git_blob objects

Examples

## Not run:

## Initialize a temporary repository
path <- tempfile(pattern="git2r-")
dir.create(path)
repo <- init(path)

## Create blobs from files relative to workdir
writeLines("Hello, world!", file.path(path, "example-1.txt"))
writeLines("test content", file.path(path, "example-2.txt"))
blob_list_1 <- blob_create(repo, c("example-1.txt",
                                   "example-2.txt"))

## Create blobs from files not relative to workdir
temp_file_1 <- tempfile()
temp_file_2 <- tempfile()
writeLines("Hello, world!", temp_file_1)
writeLines("test content", temp_file_2)
blob_list_2 <- blob_create(repo, c(temp_file_1, temp_file_2),
                           relative = FALSE)
