anyone has a work around?

hello David. I connect with my username and email, but the email doesn’t pick up while its the same email i used in github account. can you help

Hi David,

I've got the most current versions of R (4.2.1) and RStudio (2022.07.2+576) and updated all of my packages (though gert has a zero-exit warning). But two differences have come up while following your instructions.

1. I don't have the option to create a git repository from the "new project" menu.
2. When I run use_git(), I get all the same prompts, but no tab is showing up in my environment pane.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I can't seem to get the Git tab to show. I've created a "local-first" project, and within that ran the following: library(usethis) > use_git_config(user.name = "Elsa Bailey", user.email = "ebbailey@earthlink.net") > library(usethis) > use_git() ✔ Setting active project to '/Users/elsabailey/Desktop/local-first' > I never see the "create a git repository" check box when creating a new project, and I never see a message about "initialising Git Repo". I've tried following the steps in all the lessons several times, have confirmed that I have installed git 2.33.0, but can't seem to get to a screen in RStudio that shows the Git tab. I also never get a message asking to restart RStudio to activate the Git pane. I've tried quitting and restarting it myself, but that doesn't reconfigure the tabs either. I am stuck, and can't proceed with the subsequent lessons as a result. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi David, When I run all the prompts the tab doesn't show up still. Not sure how to fix this issue. Nick

Hi David - I thought we problem solved this last week but I am still getting errors when setting up a git repository.

Error in libgit2::git_signature_default : config value 'user.name' was not found

I can try to get to office hours tomorrow to troubleshoot.
