This release represents advice and shortcuts for using RStudio as a git client from 2019 and before. This release does use the usethis package. However, the package was very much in development and there were many other necessary workarounds. Notable workarounds include use of the SSH protocol and manually configuring GitHub API keys. All of this is superceded by usethis 2.0 which uses HTTP (instead of SSH) and has many other features.
Since that time, the usethis 2.0 package has been released. There fore these notes are superseded by the next version (most probably "v 2")
