Description
Currently the lesson is a mix of R console functions like `usethis::use_test`, and RStudio utilities like "Build and Load Package". RStudio can't do everything whereas the console can, so there is an argument that it would be simpler to teach everything that way, and use functions like `usethis::use_package()` and `devtools::build()` instead of the RStudio utilities.
This would also make it easier to port to Positron, which seems like Carpentries is looking at.
