My first package walk through

You're missing a good analysis tools in this package repository? You can create the package via a GitHub issue or manually with the support of a package template script! Manual package creation is the more versatile, but requires that you are familiar with the package structure and installation functions. The issue driven package creation, allows you to propose a tool by just opening an issue, which in many cases can be automatically converted into a package and released (by pushing it to MyGet). For more details on how to contribute please see the other Wiki pages.

If something is not clear, you have any questions or need help, please let us know via a GitHub issue or pull request. We love to welcome new contributors to our community!
