Feature request: start project with path and/or name

First of all, I want to congratulate you for the initiative. I thought that a package name coursedown should exist, and found out that you did it.

I just installed the package and I will give feedback as much as possible if you don't mind.

When I called the create_course function, I was caught by surprise that it starts in the interactive mode and creates the course inside the current directory. At the end of the inquiry, it threw one errors: Error : Path '...' does not appear to be inside a project or package. But the readme didn't say anything about previously creating a package or project.

I think it would be better if the user had a chance to choose the path like in usethis::create_project.

That was a initial choice. I'm going to go back to create_course in the next week to tweak it. The place to modify that is really at the "New project" stage, using the RStudio GUI. Was researching that last night.
