Arguments
- path
A directory as a character. The directory to recursively look in for the above data.
- save_type
Character. The data type to save the resulting file as. Options are: csv_files" or "R_file".
- occ_paths

repoFinder()the function asks for a list of paths to the relevant input datasets. You can fault-find errors in this function by checking the output ofrepoFinder().
Value

Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
DataImp <- repoMerge(path = DataPath,
# Find data - Many problems can be solved by running [BeeBDC::repoFinder(path = DataPath)]
# And looking for problems
occ_paths = BeeBDC::repoFinder(path = DataPath),
save_type = "R_file")
} # }
