title: Start new R package development on github
body: <p>How do I create new repository on github using devtools in RStudio? I've tried to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create empty repository on github named "MyNewRPackage"</li>
  <li>Started new project in RStudio using ssh connection to my git repository</li>
  <li>Installed and loaded devtools</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Then I thought I will use <code>create("MyNewRPackage")</code> to initialize directory structure and <code>README.md</code> file. But the package skeleton is created as subfolder of my project and I have <code>~/MyNewRPackage/MyNewRPackage/R</code>. But I need to create package skeleton in the root folder of my github repository.</p>
  
  <p>What is the standard way to start new R package development on github using devtools and RStudio?</p>
