Think this is my problem; directory structure isn't right...

[seankross]

The folder Synapse in https://github.com/kdaily/SwirlSynapse should be the repository. Sorry this isn't better documented. Then you should be able to use install_course_github('kdaily', 'whateverYouNameTheRepository').

[seankross]

Here's an example stand-alone course: https://github.com/WilCrofter/For_swirl_Authors. It can be installed with install_course_github("WilCrofter", "For_swirl_Authors").

Thanks again @seankross.
