[R-pkg-devel] How to create a new project on GitHub?

Seems like you skipped step 1?

"1. Create a new repo on GitHub: https://github.com/new. Give it the
same name as your package, and include the package title as the repo
description. Leave all the other options as is, then click Submit."

Hello, All:


        How can I create a new project within my GitHub account
(https://github.com/sbgraves237/)?


        I'm trying to follow "http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/git.html":


...
Synchronising with GitHub
...

      Open a shell, then follow the instructions on the new repo page.
They?ll look something like this:

      git remote add origin git at github.com:hadley/r-pkgs.git
      git push -u origin master

I tried:

...$ git remote add origin git at github.com:sbgraves237/fda.git
...$ git push -u origin master
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.


*** That didn't work, so I tried


...$ git remote add origin https://[my ssh code]@github.com/sbgraves237/fda
fatal: remote origin already exists.
...$ git push -u origin master
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.


        *** What do I need to do to fix the mess I seem to have created
and get what I want?


        *** Thanks, Spencer Graves


p.s.  If you know the fda package, you know that James Ramsay is the
primary author, and I'm one of his long-time collaborators.  He has a
new version he wants to clean up and submit to CRAN, and I'm trying to
help him.  Thanks.  sg
