I created a new package locally using PkgTemplates. It looks like this: ufechner@TUD277255:~/repos/Rubi$ tree -L 1 . ├── deps ├── doc ├── input ├── LICENSE ├── Manifest.toml ├── Project.toml ├── README.md ├── src └── test Now I want to upload it to github. Do I have to rename the folder name to R…

The name of the folder on your local machine does not have to match your github repository. You can indeed call your online github repository Rubi.jl. There are two ways to develop a package on github: Create an empty repository on github first. You may call this Rubi.jl. Clone this empty reposit…

[image] affans: If you are a git beginner Well, I am using github for 8 years and created probably 100 repositories so far, but this is the first time that I need a repository that has a different name than the local folder. Anyway, what you explained is neither documented in the Julia docu…

I suppose you don’t have to quote me on that, but as long as the folder is initialized for git, the name of the folder is irrelevant. I’ll google it just to be sure.

That’s correct. Folder can be called whatever you want. The default is just for them to be the same.

You may find intetesting this tutorial related to package creation, where the first method of @affans is exploited. In general the official documentation doesn’t include all the github, creating package documentation, continuous integration, and all the other essential bits of info you need to cre…

The tutorial you linked is indeed very useful and detailed. :slight_smile:

I keep struggling to find the answer to this each time. Now, inspired by the above answers, I arrived to these minimal steps: Create the repository on github. For example https://github.com/lmiq/MyPackage.jl. When creating it, add one file, for example the README.md (the content will be discarded…

I too create the repo on github first and pull it to my local drive into an empty directory with the name I want (if my package is called MyUtils.jl my directory is usually more descriptive like home-github-myutils or work-github-myutils). I copy a LICENCE file, Manifest.toml, Project.toml from some…

Those seem somewhat convoluted. Create the repo on Github but leave it EMPTY. No readme, no license. Use whatever method you like to locally create your package (shoutout to @Tamas_Papp for my preferred method GitHub - tpapp/PkgSkeleton.jl: Generate Julia package skeletons using a simple template sy…

[image] tbeason: Then just point your local folder to the online repo and push What does this mean exactly? I tried things like that, but always ended with some error (repo exists, not authorized…) I really was expecting that something like you mention would come out. For example: Create…

After doing the same steps as you in Julia and going to the package directory I get: $ git log commit d81fcbc9b7afc5c94ca5ffe6d482ec56ccd8d820 (HEAD -> master) Author: Gunnar Farnebäck <x@y> Date: Tue Jun 8 13:32:12 2021 +0200 Files generated by PkgTemplates PkgTemplates version: 0.…
