[R-pkg-devel] submitting to github

[Joris Meys]

Hi Troels,

origin: none means that git created a local repository but didn't link it
to a github account yet. If you're not that familiar with git, I suggest
you take a look at Github Desktop. We use that with our students, and even
I still use it sometimes. Github Desktop allows you to publish a local
repository to github with one click. You just have to set your credentials
after installing.

More info on adding a remote through shell :
https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/
More info on Github Desktop : https://desktop.github.com/

Hope this helps
Cheers
Joris
