    #Paste link to github repository
    devtools::create(getwd()) #Create package

  #Without github
    #Click File -> New Project -> New Directory -> R Package
      #Choose parent folder location
      #Name package (Will be a sub-fodler within parent folder)
      #Check option for git if you want version control
      #Alternatively can use devtools::create("folderpath/yourpackagename")
      #Can always add git later with usethis::use_git() #Initialize git repository

#You made a package and before you didn't want it on github, but now you do. How do you fix that?
  usethis::use_git() #Initialize git repository if you haven't already
  usethis::browse_github_token() #Should open web browser. Click "Generate token"
  usethis::use_github(private = TRUE, auth_token = "PasteTokenHere")
