Remove files

wflow_remove removes files. If the file to be removed is an R Markdown file, the corresponding HTML and other related files are also removed. If the workflowr project uses Git, wflow_remove commits the changes.

wflow_remove(files, message = NULL, git = TRUE, dry_run = FALSE,
  project = ".")

Arguments

files

character. Files to be removed. Supports file globbing.
message

character (default: NULL). A commit message.
git

logical (default: TRUE). Commit the changes (only applicable if Git repository is present).
dry_run

logical (default: FALSE). Preview the files to be removed but do not actually remove them.
project

character (default: ".") By default the function assumes the current working directory is within the project. If this is not true, you'll need to provide the path to the project directory.
