Research direction

Start by reading the rig proj sync help and the documentation linked from the issue for the --library option. Check whether the command supports that option and compare its behavior with the documented project library setup. Done means the option works as documented or the documentation accurately describes the supported configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug documentation

Thanks for rig proj, it is pretty impressive.
I wanted to centralize the project library as described in the doc with the --library option, but unfortunately this option doesn't seem to exist

$ rig proj sync --library foo
error: unexpected argument '--library' found

Usage: rig proj sync [OPTIONS]

For more information, try '--help'.

$ rig --version
RIG -- The R Installation Manager 0.11.0

Therefore I wonder if the --library option mentioned in the doc has not yet been implemented? Or maybe I just did not understand that part of the documentation.

PS: The global proj-library-root option works well

rig config set proj-library-root=$HOME/mypath
rig proj sync
ls $HOME/mypath
