gistr (version 0.4.0)

gist_save: Save gist files to disk

Description

Save gist files to disk

Usage

gist_save(gist, path = ".")
gist_open(x)

Arguments

gist

A gist object or something coerceable to a gist

path

Root path to write to, a directory, not a file b/c a gist can contain many files. A folder is created with name of the gist id within this root directory. File names will be the same as given in the gist.

x

An object of class gist_files (the output from gist_save)

Value

An object of class gist_files, S3 object containing file paths

Details

gist_save: files are written into a new folder, named by the gist id, e.g., a65ac7e56b7b3f746913

gist_open: opens files in your editor/R GUI. Internally, uses file.edit to open files, using getOption("editor") to open the files. If you're in R.app or RStudio, or other IDE's, files will open in the IDE (I think).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
gist("a65ac7e56b7b3f746913") %>% gist_save()
gist("a65ac7e56b7b3f746913") %>% gist_save() %>% gist_open()
gist("https://gist.github.com/expersso/4ac33b9c00751fddc7f8") %>% 
  gist_save()
# }
