List test-datasets
The nf-core test-datasets list subcommand provides functionality to list existing test-datasets for pipelines and modules from the commandline.
Test-datasets are hosted on the on the nf-core/test-datasets github repository.
Not all files found on github can be listed with this subcommand.
Some auxiliary files like README, or LICENSE as well as all files starting with . are always ignored.
Listing a file tree
The following example lists the first entries of the file tree with test inputs for a pipeline (cut off after 25 lines of output). A branch name is always required to avoid a high number of requests against the github API. If no branch name is specified via the command line, the user will be prompted to enter one.
To improve usability branch names can be entered via a tab-autocompletion. Alternatively, to list all branches see the list_branches subcommand.
Output options
As default output, a table listing the filenames is printed, but download urls or nextflow import statements to reuse the test files can also be generated.
This is possible via the flags -u/--generate-dl-url and -p/--generate-nf-path as in the search subcommand.
