Refactor: add missing `or_directory` where needed. This commit adds the missing `_or_directory` to any example which is specifying an action affecting a file or a directory, but uses the token `{{path/to/file}}` instead of `{{path/to/file_or_directory}}`. 2019-02-08 00:31:19 +00:00			`- Archive a file or directory:`
