I set my github PAT up without a problem a while ago but returning to this (and catching up on some long-delayed lessons here) I can't connect to github. I get the error message "Error: GitHub PAT must have one of these forms:
When I check on github the PAT is still the one I set up, so I'm not sure how to fix this.

Hi Dave, I am trying to push a local R project to Github. My goal is to push this R project currently located on my PC only to Github, and then pull it to my MacBook. I believe I have set up PAT correctly in R Studio on both the PC and the MacBook.
I used: usethis::use_github()
I got the error (without showing other actions that were actually successful): Error in libgit2::git_remote_push : failed to receive response: A security error occurred
Googling the error message hasn't gotten me anywhere. Could you share insights on what the "security error" might have been?

Hi David and Charlie, I am working on something from week 10. I wanted to post the gist for the code as I am getting an error message. I wanted to post the code to an existing project that I have called "zain_rin3-project' However, when I attempt to push the project to github, I get the following error message "Error: Repo 'zainasaf/zain_rin3-project' already exists on 'github.com'. I assume it is possible to push the code to an existing project, and we do not have to create a new project in github each time we post new code. Is there a step that I am missing ?
