to help users to create a JSON file with all the upload parameters ("manifest", see https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/image_manifest/).
- Add the functions: `ee_utils_gif_creator`, `ee_utils_gif_annotate` and

# rgee 1.0.2

- Fix minor bugs in `sf_as_ee` and `gcs_to_ee_table`. The argument `command_line_tool_path` was added to give users the option to set the path of the Earth Engine command linetool. This new argument is only relevant to upload files using Google Cloud Storage. New diagnostic message were added.
- Now `sf_as_ee` returns an `ee$Geometry$...` when `x` is a `sfg` or a single sfc object. If `x` is a sf or a `sfc` object with multiple geometries will return an `ee$FeatureCollection`. New unit test for `sf_as_ee`.
- Changes in the documentation of `ee_as_stars` and `ee_as_raster` (#72 Thanks @appelmar).

path_asset is `ee_get_assethome`.

to upload and download images.
- Fix a bug in the documentation of `print.ee.computedobject.ComputedObject()` (#72 Thanks @appelmar).
- Fix a bug in `ee_install_set_pyenv` now users can set `py_path` without set 
`py_env` and  vice versa.
