[R-pkg-devel] autotesting on GitHub with Travis or ...?

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Ben:


	  Thanks very much.


	  This fixed my problem.


	  For others who may be reading this later, I missed a couple of points 
when first working through 
"https://deanattali.com/blog/migrating-travis-to-github/":


* On first pass, I missed the need to "git add" and "git commit" .github".


* And when using "usethis::use_readme_rmd()", I initially missed the 
need to "knit" the file to produce the README.md.
