Use many directories to build R packages.

This allows using many folders to write R packages, letting you structure the project more or less how you want but keep the existing R toolchain around R packages (testing, documentation, etc.).

How it works

The function bundle looks, by default, for .R files in the srcpkg and simply copies them to the /R directory whilst tracking of changes in the hidden .many file. If that process fails you can run reset to clear that file the subsequent bundle run will force copy all files.

• The srcpkg can contain multiple nested directories, for an example look at the source code of this package. Everything else remains the same, e.g.: use of inst, etc.
• Set the MANY_VERBOSE environment variable to FALSE if you want to switch off all messages.
• Run tidy() to clean up old files but you should not have to do this, it’s handled in bundle().
• If you run into any issue you can always reset the tracking by running many::reset() (you will NOT lose any progress).
