So I finally used
filenames <- list.files("~/Desktop/myPkg/R/", full.names = TRUE)
package.skeleton(name = "myPackage", code_files = filenames)
and still despite the warnings mentioned before, the man and R folders seem to
have been created correctly. I had put the vignettes folder and inst in the
source folder (~/Desktop/myPkg) at the same level as R folder. inst contains
citation. but after invoking package.skeleton, nothing happened to copy the
vignettes nor inst folders in the myPackage folder. Should package.skeleton
have taken care of them or I should process separately?
Thanks

Sorry, I meant "leave it out", i.e. just use
package.skeleton(name="myPackage"). This will look at the objects that
are currently defined in your workspace and base your package on those.
But if you have your code already in a bunch of files in
~/Desktop/myPkg/R/, you could use
filenames <- list.files("~/Desktop/myPkg/R/", full.names = TRUE)
to get all the names in one vector, and use that as the code_files
argument, i.e.
package.skeleton(name = "myPackage", code_files = filenames)
You may need to leave out some files if they aren't all *.R files.
