taco

====

Taco is a package for R that provides an interface to easily wrap system calls 

and command line. You can easily chain command line arguments and provide simple 

validation. Taco is in its infancy. If you see something missing, add an issue 

at the top of this page.

## Example

With taco you can easily wrap system calls in a functions. This is a commit 

example for git. There is a multitude of options, but let's keep it simple:

    commit <- function(message = NA, all = TRUE, indir = getwd()) {

      arg <- paste( "commit",

        as_argument("a", all), 

        as_argument("m", message, mandatory = 1) # make message mandatory

      )

      system_dir(indir, "git", arg)

    }

  

you can then call 

    commit("hello world")

  

## Install

to install or update your taco package you need the `devtools`package since 

taco is not on CRAN.

    # install.packages("devtools")

    library(devtools)

    install_github("taco", "etiennebr")
