I attempted to use PkgTemplates to create a package, running the following:

```julia
t = Template(;
    dir="~/code",
    plugins=[
        Git(; manifest=true, ssh=true),
        Codecov(),
        TravisCI(; x86=true),
        Documenter{TravisCI}(),
    ],
)
t("Mypackage")

```

Creates a project directory “Mypackage”, which already has this partial structure:

Also when I go to the repo on github there are buttons:  
**Fig.2**

Now I have added some types and methods and I need to update this existing documentation.

According to the [Documenter](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/man/guide/#Package-Guide) tutorial, that means running:

```julia
makedocs(sitename="My Documentation")

```

But since the template is already done, I’m assuming the `sitename` is not arbitrary.  
How do I make sure `sitename` matches stuff that PkgTemplates put in Fig.1 and Fig.2 so when I click on those buttons my actual docs show up?

`sitename` just determines what goes at the top of the sidebar and in the page `<title>` in the docs. So you can (should) just change that to e.g. the package name.
