This command simplifies that process. {p_end} {pstd}Additionally, this command can modify an existing settings file. {p_end} {title:Options} {pstd}{bf:searchpaths}({it:string}) adds search paths to the settings file. If adding multiple paths, enclose each path in quotes and then enclose the full list as a compound string. Paths may include a path-specific search depth for each path. {p_end} {pstd}{bf:searchdepth}({it:integer}) sets a general search depth for paths that do not have a path-specific search depth. {p_end} {pstd}{bf:skipdirs}({it:string}) lists folder names that {inp:reproot} should ignore. Sub-folders within ignored folders will also be excluded. {p_end} {title:Feedback, Bug Reports, and Contributions} {pstd}Learn more about these commands on {browse "https://github.com/worldbank/repkit":this repository}, where this package is developed.
