Wrapper to Download and Unzip a Github Repository to A Folder

Usage

download_zip_to_folder(
  github_zip_url = "https://github.com/NIFU-NO/nifutemplates/archive/refs/heads/main.zip",
  zip_path = tempfile(fileext = ".zip"),
  files = NULL,
  out_path,
  prompt = TRUE,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  open_project = FALSE,
  newSession = TRUE
)

Arguments

github_zip_url

URL to zip file, as string.

zip_path

String, where to store zip-file. Defaults to a temporary location.

files

Character vector of files in zip-file to include. See zip::unzip().

out_path

String, directory to where to store the unzipped files.

prompt

Flag, whether to ask user if conflicting files should be overwritten, if any. Defaults to TRUE.

overwrite

Flag, whether to overwrite files in out_path. Defaults to FALSE.

open_project

Flag or string. If FALSE (default), does nothing. If TRUE (requires rstudioapi-pkg), opens an assumed .Rproj-file in out_path after copying, or gives warning if not found. Alternatively, a string (path) can be provided. Defaults to file.path(out_path, ".Rproj") if such exists. Set to NULL or FALSE to ignore.

newSession

Flag. Whether to open new project in a new RStudio session. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

Character vector of unzipped files.
