| 134 | +## 🚀 Development Workflow |
| 135 | +
|
| 136 | +1. **Set up the package in RStudio or manually**: |
| 137 | + ```r |
| 138 | + usethis::create_package("myrpackage") |
| 139 | + usethis::use_git() |
| 140 | + usethis::use_mit_license() |
| 141 | + usethis::use_roxygen_md() |
| 142 | + usethis::use_testthat() |
| 143 | + devtools::document() |
| 144 | +```` |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +2. **Check your package**: |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | + ```r |
| 149 | + devtools::check() |
| 150 | + ``` |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +3. **Install locally**: |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | + ```r |
| 155 | + devtools::install() |
| 156 | + ``` |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +4. **Submit to CRAN**: |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | + ```r |
| 161 | + devtools::release() |
| 162 | + ``` |
| 163 | + |
