Initiate a pre-commit config file

use_precommit_config(
  config_source = getOption("precommit.config_source"),
  force = FALSE,
  open = rstudioapi::isAvailable(),
  verbose = FALSE,
  root = here::here()
)

Arguments

config_source: Path or URL to a .pre-commit-config.yaml. This config file will be hard-copied into root. If NULL, we check if root is a package or project directory using rprojroot::find_package_root_file(), and resort to an appropriate default config. See section 'Copying an existing config file'.
force: Whether to replace an existing config file.
open: Whether or not to open the .pre-commit-config.yaml after it's been placed in your repo. The default is TRUE when working in RStudio. Otherwise, we recommend manually inspecting the file.
verbose: Whether or not to communicate what's happening.
root: The path to the root directory of your project.

Value

Character vector of length one with the path to the config file used.

Copying an existing config file

You can use an existing .pre-commit-config.yaml file when initializing pre-commit with use_precommit() using the argument config_source to copy an existing config file into your repo. This argument defaults to the R option precommit.config_source, so you may want to set this option in your .Rprofile for convenience. Note that this is not equivalent to the --config option in the CLI command pre-commit install and similar, which do not copy a config file into a project root (and allow to put it under version control), but rather link it in some more or less transparent way.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
use_precommit_config()
