This is a great idea. It could also effortlessly check that whatever is generated is identical to what is originally submitted using the hash function provided at: https://www.statalist.org/forums/forum/general-stata-discussion/general/1443922-computing-hash-of-string-data-or-files

Yeah it would be nice -- I am having trouble thinking about how to write the folder structure syntax in Stata however...

I fixed by copying out everything that `clear` says it does and removing `postutil clear` and `discard`: https://github.com/worldbank/ietoolkit/blob/4a4bc25184f6e47e09284497b1e8331d42cf9f82/src/ado_files/iedorep.ado#L274-L290

I understand that -- I am leaning towards a solution where if `clear all` or the equivalent is detected in a target do-file, it is simply replaced by the above...

Yeah don't rush on it. I think it is not hard at all on that side, I can probably implement them myself since it's just a new option and a...

Ok, I think I was able to do it in 932ec9764d886bfb1752bf6e09dd955f9c5ec1c5 without changing `ieboilstart` -- instead of altering internal code, I manually implemented the `clear` commands and then use `ieboilstart`'s...

Yeah I think a great option would be to get DIA-toolkit shaped up if it does the right kind of things you are talking about. I think Kris knows a...

This could allow two other useful setups: 1. Making sure the file structures remain parallel (ie, setting up in parallel on first run, then checking for a `parallel` flag on...

There is this: https://github.com/coderigo/stata-git This is also the logic I started from with the custom `wb_git_install` on my site – but because these both rely on `copy` in Stata they...
