Publish pkgreview on GitHub

Manually through GitHub

1. Head over to to your repositories tab on Github.

2. Click on New to create a blank repository.

   • Follow naming convention "{pkgname}-review".
   • Make sure you don’t automatically create any files on GitHub. These will cause merge conflicts when you try to push to the remote for the first time.

3. Click on Clone or download and copy the link displayed

1. Open a terminal (in Rstudio go to Tools > Terminal > New Terminal). In the terminal, ensure you are in the review project.

2. Add your github repo as a remote by running the following code in the terminal, substituting in the link you copied from GitHub.

   git remote add origin <the-link-you-copied-from-github>
   git push -u origin master

   For example, in my case I add my repo to as a remote like so:

   git remote add origin https://github.com/annakrystalli/rdflib-review.git
   git push -u origin master

   Follow any authentication steps required

Programmatically using usethis::use_github()

To use usethis::use_github, you’ll need to supply a github personal access token (PAT) token. The easiest way to set it up for all your r workflows is to store you PAT in a GITHUB_PAT system variable in your .Renviron dotfile. To do this:

1. Generate PAT: use usethis::create_github_token to launch page to generate a PAT on GitHub.

2. Add PAT to your .Renviron dot file: Use usethis::edit_r_environ() to open your user level .Renviron, paste the copied PAT token from github and save it like so:

3. Create Github repo & add as remote: Now, while in your review project in Rstudio, run:

   usethis::use_github(protocol = "https")

   to create a github repository for your review and add it as a remote for your review project. The naming of the github repository is handled automatically.
