Description

Create tools around core usethis functions (not all). Please suggest functions you'd like to see implemented as tools here. Here's a starting list of tools that I think would be helpful and woldn't need too many guardrails

  • create_package() (in current folder)
  • use_package(), use_dev_package()
  • use_r() and use_test()
  • use_vignette() and use_article()
  • use_author()
  • use_license() (mit/gpl/agpl/lgpl/apache/cc0/ccby)
  • use_build_ignore() and use_gitignore()
  • use_testthat()
  • use_pkgdown()
  • use_news_md()
  • use_readme_rmd()
