Routines for doing simple GitHub ops from within R, some in combination with your text editor.

Example:

gitEdPush('x','"test case"') 

will open your (shell default) text editor, allow you to edit and save x, then automatically push the file to GitHub -- all in one seamless operation. The message, in this case "test case", will be used for the git commit.

Example:

gitOpPush('x','"not needed anymore"','rm')

Removes the file x, then does commit and push, with the specified commit comment. Other allowed ops are 'add', 'mv' and 'rm -r').

Example:

gitCO()

Executes 'git log' (does 'git checkout master' first), then gives user a choice of which commit, if any, the user wishes to switch to.

Example:

gitCO(master=TRUE)

Return to the master version of the repo.

Example:

gitCO(files='rr')

Show all commits involving changes to the file rr.

Example:

gitFindFile('uu','x8')

Finds the most recent commit that included the file uu, which in turn included the text 'x8'.

Example:

gitLS()

Reports (separately), tracked and untracked files in the current directory/commit.

Example:

gitClean()

Reports untracked files, and asks user whether to delete.
