I am trying to create my own custom package using PkgTemplates (Home · PkgTemplates.jl). I want the package files to be in my Dropbox folder to sync between my desktop and laptop.
I tried to use the dir option in the template by
julia> t1 = Template(user="roiholtzman", dir="~/Dropbox/src")
but then I got this error
julia> t1("MyExample")
