Starts a new package using a designated path to a local directory, where the folder is created and the DESCRIPTION, /R, LICENSE, NAMESPACE, and README are written. Additional documentation such as the Code of Conduct can be generated using setup_package_docs().

make_new_package(path, copyright_holder = NULL)

Arguments

path

A path. If it exists, it is used. If it does not exist, it is created, provided that the parent path exists.

copyright_holder

Name of the copyright holder or holders. This defaults to "package name authors"; you should only change this if you use a CLA to assign copyright to a single entity.
