Documentation currently lacks a simple example.

As a Julia newbie who's trying to learn how to create packages the right way, I find the current documentation for PkgTemplates doesn't offer much of an on-ramp for beginners. I cannot find any sort of "Follow these steps" for a simplest-case scenario of creating a package and linking it to GitHub. Instead, the docs skip straight to "A More Complicated Example", which is presented without context or explanation.

After tinkering a bit, I think I've found a process that works, which I've done my best to document here. But ideally, I'm hoping that someone who knows what they're doing can add a simple Minimal Working Example to the docs, explaining each step of how to create a package the proper way.

TLDR: run generate() and the process is foolproof and interactive

There definately used to be an example template in the docs that had some common options you might like to play with.
We should bring that example back.
It is nice to have a basic Template to tweak
