Could use_pkgdown() not necessarily create docs?

[maelle]

This is a feature request. 😺

Could there be an argument docs to use_pkgdown(), that'd prevent the creation of the docs/ folder if set to FALSE? The reason for my asking is that I like setting the config file and then use tic for deployment i.e.

usethis::use_pkgdown()
travis::use_tic()

with which the pkgdown website will be deployed to a gh-pages branch, not to docs/. I know that in that case I'm only using usethis::use_pkgdown() to add a config file which is maybe not a good idea. 🤔
