Upload new package to github

@GunnarFarneback , thanks. I see. I think I was always hitting a mixture of two things: 1) Getting confused on what is the “package name” and what is the “repository name”, and not knowing what was the “repository name” that PkgTemplates was creating (didn’t know about the git remote get-url origin command).

Conclusion:

The simplest path:

  1. Create the empty github repo, i. e. http://github.com/lmiq/MyPackage.jl (create it with .jl at the end).

  2. Use package templates with:

using PkgTemplates
tpl = Template(user="lmiq")
tpl("MyPackage")
  1. Navigate to ~/.julia/dev/MyPackage, and do:
git push --set-upstream origin master

Thanks for the tips. I don’t really want anything… I just don’t understand what is going on.
