Having problems calling load_all()

I am developing a package and having a problem making a function available for experimentation. Every time I call load_all(), it throws " Overwrite pre-existing file 'Pckg.Rproj'?". It just keeps asking every time, whatever my answer may be (positive or negative). I tried to quit by typing 0, It didn't work.

This is most likely an error in your package. If you show us the package, we can probably help.

Thanks for replying. I am actually creating a toy package for the purpose of getting familiar with the process of package development. Here is the code I have written so far:

#Developping a small toy package:

Loading the required package: usethis

library(devtools)

#initialize a new package in a directory on your computer

getwd()
setwd("C:/Users/Mylptp/Desktop/R/Prog/stpckg")

create_package("C:/Users/Mylptp/Desktop/R/Prog/stpckg")

#Making a Git repository
use_git()

#Write the first function

x <- "alfa,bravo,charlie,delta"
strsplit(x, split = ",") #split a single string into many parts
#(the output is a list)
str(strsplit(x, split = ",")) #str() is an alternative to summary()

#methods of unlisting the result
unlist(strsplit(x, split = ","))
strsplit(x, split = ",")[[1]]

#The second, safer solution is the basis for the inaugural function of stpckg: strsplit1()

strsplit1 <- function(x, split) {
strsplit(x, split = split)[[1]]
}
strsplit1("I,love,all,of,you",",")

#Saving the definition of strsplit1() in a .R file.
use_r("strsplit1")

#Calling load_all() to make strsplit1() available for experimentation
load_all() #didn't work:

#Problems with the cli package
install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("cli")
library("devtools")
install.packages("shiny")

packageVersion("cli")
update.packages("cli")

remove.packages("cli")
install.packages("cli")
install.packages("htmlwidgets")
library("devtools") #FINALLY DONE !

load_all() # Here where lies the problem !!!!

Here is what I get every time I call "load_all()"

I am sorry, but this is a bit hard to follow. Can you put your package on GitHub, or create a .tar.gz file for it, and upload it somewhere?

For sure.
Here is a link to the raw file on Github:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovsama/Package-development/main/newproject_regexcite.R?token=GHSAT0AAAAAACNLL7VYBGXXM5HJJ24B3EP6ZNST54A

I get a 404 error when I try that link. Looking at your GitHub profile, I think your repository "Package-development" is private. For us to help you, could you please either 1) make that repository public, or 2) create a new public repository that contains the code to reproduce the load_all() error?
