-This function requires the \pkg{travis} and \pkg{usethis} packages.
-
-The project path is retrieved with \code{\link[usethis:proj_get]{usethis::proj_get()}}.
-
-The preparation consists of the following steps:
 \enumerate{
-\item If necessary, create a GitHub repository via \code{\link[usethis:use_github]{usethis::use_github()}}
-\item Enable Travis via \code{\link[travis:travis_enable]{travis::travis_enable()}}
-\item Create a default \code{.travis.yml} file
-(overwrite after confirmation in interactive mode only)
-\item Create a default \code{appveyor.yml} file
-(depending on repo type, overwrite after confirmation
-in interactive mode only)
-\item Create a default \code{.circleci/config.yml} file
-(depending on repo type, overwrite after confirmation
-in interactive mode only)
+\item Query information which CI providers should be used
+\item Setup permissions for providers selected for deployment
+\item Create YAML files for selected providers
 \item Create a default \code{tic.R} file depending on the repo type
 (package, website, bookdown, ...)
-\item Enable deployment (if necessary, depending on repo type)
-via \code{\link[=use_travis_deploy]{use_travis_deploy()}}
-\item Create a GitHub PAT and install it on Travis CI
-via \code{\link[travis:travis_set_pat]{travis::travis_set_pat()}}
 }
-
-This function is aimed at supporting the most common use cases.
-Users who require more control are advised to review
-the source code of \code{use_tic()}
-and manually call the individual functions, some of which aren't exported.

 # Initialization
 
 The easiest way to use *tic* for CI services is to call `tic::use_tic()`.
-This will create templates for both "Travis CI" and "Appveyor" and initialize all the required authentication steps for deployment.
-During the process, browser pages will open up, ensuring that all permissions are set correctly and all apps are authorized.
-Also a Personal Access Token (PAT) will be created on GitHub and stored  as an encrypted variable on Travis.
-This avoids hitting rate limitations when accessing the GitHub API, see [Locke Data's blog post about GitHUB PATs](https://itsalocke.com/blog/using-travis-make-sure-you-use-a-github-pat/) for more details.
-The PAT creation cannot be fully automated as some input from the user on GitHub is required when creating the PAT.
+This will initialize a setup wizard which will guide you through all possibilities of the offered CI providers by _tic_.
 
-First, authentication with Travis (a browser window opens) and GitHub is initiated (another browser window opens).
-Also, the repo is activated on Travis.
+Several yes/no questions need to be answered. 
+Based on the replies we'll select specific templates.
+
+Besides the question which CI system you want to use, you'll be asked if you want to 
+
+- deploy from builds to Github (e.g. if you are building a pkgdown site)
+
+- test your package on multiple R versions

 # Explanation of the basic template
 
-After having called `tic::use_tic()` you will find a `.travis.yml`, `appveyor.yml` and a `tic.R` file in your repo.
-Usually you do not need to touch `appveyor.yml` and `.travis.yml` anymore.
-All build customizations are done in `tic.R` and apply to both services.
