Description

Creates the .dvs metadata folder and configures storage for versioned files.

Usage

dvs_init(
  storage_path,
  root_dir = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  metadata_folder_name = NULL,
  compression = c("zstd", "none")
)

Arguments

Argument	Description
storage_path	Path to the storage directory where file contents are kept.
root_dir	Repository root directory. Defaults to the current working directory.
group	Unix group name to set on stored files for shared access. NULL uses your primary group.
metadata_folder_name	Name of the metadata folder. Defaults to .dvs.
compression	Compression method for stored files. One of "zstd" (default) or "none".

Value

A one-row tibble with the configuration written to dvs.toml: compression ("zstd" or "none"), metadata_folder_name (NA when it was not given, so the folder is .dvs), backend_path (the absolute path of the storage directory) and backend_group (NA when no group was given and your primary group could not be found).
