Because each and every file in the man/
directory of an R package is automatically written with package roxygen2, I wonder what would prevent me from adding the entire directory to my .gitignore
.
In other words, why all R packages on GitHub still version the man/
directory?
As a convenience to users who use devtools::install_github()
.
If man/*.Rd
is not in the repo, they will get a note like No man pages found in package...
upon install and later, help(...)
or ?...
or ??...
will fail for your users with No documentation
or No results found
.
