files

• Navigating through files and directories from the R console with the default functions can be a cumbersome, clumsy, and cockeyed process. The aim of files is to ease that process and provide a file mapping system that exceeds the informativeness of the beloved point and click interface that we have come to depend on and accept as ‘good enough.’

Getting Started

# Install Github version:

lf - List Files

• Retrieves your working directory or a directory of your choice and displays it’s top-level contents, as well as the contents of each top-level folder within it, as columns in a ragged-bottom data.frame
