Start new R package development on github

Question

How do I create new repository on github using devtools in RStudio? I\'ve tried to:

1. Create empty repository on github named \"MyNewRPackage\"
2. Started new

Answer 1

Now there's setup(), which creates the skeleton inside an existing directory. Together with hub, this becomes:

git init NewPackage
cd NewPackage
Rscript -e "devtools::setup()"
hub create
git add .
git commit -m "initial"
git push -u origin HEAD
