In arestrom/remisc: Some simple utility functions for personal use

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

Using RStudio GUI

In RStudio

1. Create new package project: File > New Project > New Directory > R Package. Then enter package name, add any existing R code, set the project subdirectory, check Create a git repository. Then click Create Project.

2. Edit the DESCRIPTION file as needed. Just fill in suggested language. First version should be set to 0.1.9000.

3. In upper-left corner select the Git tab. Click the Staged checkboxes for all files listed. Then click on Commit and include a short commit message. Typically Initial commit the first time. Make sure you commit something...anything. Otherwise you will get an error in step 6.

4. In your github account click on New Repository. Enter the repository name. Use the same name as you gave the package in RStudio. Enter a short description. Do not add a readme, gitignore, or license.

5. Connect your RStudio package project to the new GitHub repository you created in step 4. In the GitHub page that pops up after you created the new repo see the option that says …or push an existing repository from the command line. Click to the right of this option and copy the two lines of command line text to your clipboard.

6. In RStudio look in the upper right corner for the gear icon in the Git tab. Click on Shell to open a command line window for Git. Paste the contents of your clipboard (copied in step 5) to the Git command window. Click enter. You should get a message similar to:

1. In your GitHub repository, refresh the page to verify your committed files were transferred properly from RStudio to GitHub.

2. After editing all your files go to the Build tab in the upper right pane in RStudio. Click on the Check button to see if all is ready.
