Today, I am following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGOj5yH7evk to learn how to use GitHub, but I am using Windows.
I've set it all successfully by also following the official instruction (https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/about-ssh) and it works on Git Bash.
enter image description here
But I failed when I tried to "git clone" in Visual Studio Code and got this response:
git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I've also tried setting the config because the video mentioned config (although the official instructions does't mention this, which means Windows users don't need to care about this. But this was what I tried to solve the problem, just in case this could make influence on my problem)
file:C:/Users/CC2022/.gitconfig user.name=CC
file:C:/Users/CC2022/.gitconfig user.email=username#email.com
file:C:/Users/CC2022/.gitconfig core.editor='C:\Users\CC2022\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin
So, is there any requirement for the folder I select to open in VS code to do the git stuff or where is the problem?
Thank you for your help
I can git clone by the HTTP link on both VS code and GitBash, or git clone by the SSH link on Git Bash.
But I have a problem (git clone by SSH link) on VS Code.
In addition, although git clone by HTTP link on VS Code is okay, but I cannot "push" edited files back to GitHub, because the access is denied
That means the repository you are trying to push back to is not one you own/have created. You might therefore have no right to contribute back to it directly.

I recently created a website using blogdown and now hosting it on a GitHub repository and netlify to deploy. When I set it up, I followed the directions to clone my GitHub repository to be able to commit files using the git version control. So making changes within Rmarkdown and then committing them to my GitHub repository was easy.
However, when I connect to the project now, the window where I can commit changes does not appear. That is, I no longer have the option to commit changes within R studio. My guess is that the connection between the terminal and GitHub was changed/removed? Does anyone know how to re-establish this? I've looked up the syntax to use in the terminal, but I couldn't find a similar problem - that is, re-establish the connection between my GitHub with an already existing project already on my desktop.
Posting an answer to this question in the case others have a problem. It was an issue with MojaveOS. You have to re-install command line tools in the terminal.
xcode-select --install
Doing this, the version control now works to commit files to my github repository.
I originally set up git in Rstudio while enrolled in the Data Scientist's Toolbox course at Coursera. Unfortunately, I did this in my phd project. The repository no longer exists on github. I am now attempting to write my thesis in rmarkdown using knitr and bookdown. I would like to use version control, both to learn proper git workflow and to have a structured back up of everything I have done in my thesis. However, I have been unable to change the version control repository in Rstudio.
I am unable to change this in the Tools > Version control > Project setup > Git/SVN menu. The Origin: textbox is unchangable.
I tried creating a new project using the old phd project's working directory. This also cloned the version control settings.
How do I change the origin to accomplish what is described above?
Git, Github and Rstudio are different things. You could use git as local version control tools. You might connect your local repo to Github account which is based on git by push/pull. Rstudio just makes a user interface for git and supplies the function to push the repo into remote server based on git to make version control(not only Github, but also Gitlab).
So for your issue, if you do not want to pay for github for a private repo, all of your code would be public and I don't think it is good before your finally finished your thesis. But version control could be made locally with git only. Just use git shell to control the version.
However, as a student, github could support private repo here for you. Just register and find your student package. Then just remove the url for remote repo after you cd to your workdir in command line, use the following code to find your remote url(mostly you might fing origin):
git remote -v
Then use this to remove them:
git remote rm origin
Now you could use version control locally. If you want to connect this repo to your remote github private repo, use this:
git remote add origin https://github.com/[YourUsername]/[YourRepoName].git
RStudio would find this information about git and support your following operation. Project in RStudio is different with git, although project support git as version control tool. So you need git in command line or shell to solve your problem.
This can be done by opening /your.project/.git/config
and editing the remote origin line(s), e.g. changing from git to https.
Restart Rstudio & you'll be prompted for your github username & password.
This is what worked for me for migrating from github to Azure
Go to the top right Git window in RStudio and click on the gear. Now click Shell (to open the terminal there).
#remove origin
git remote rm origin
#add new origin like Azure for me via HTTPS
git remote add origin https://USER#dev.azure.com/USER/PROJECT/_git/REPONAME
#push your local repro
git push -u origin --all
#in my case put in the PAT password if you needed to generate one.
After testing, I found some clue
Actually Rstudio is not really smart about this setting
It will first search for the git file in the Rproject folder where your Rporject file is located
if it could not, then it goes up to the folder contains your Rproject folder
However, for version control you only need coding files while RProject may contains some big files like .RData some pictures etc.
I don't find a way to manually disrupt this logic flow, the only thing you can do is to delete the current git repository setting files(which is .git folder and 2 other git setting files), then Rstudio may ask you if you want to init a new one.
I'm new to coding and am getting my grounds still.
I'm working on using the command line to upload to GitHub. I know how to check my status, but how do I see the path of where the repository that is being uploaded is based to make sure the path is correct?
You have to check the origin of the git repository.
git remote -v
This will show you the remote origins you have configured. If you have more origins it'll show them all
I've never used a VCS before and I'm attempting to set one up now.
I'm doing some Game Development with Unity3d. At first I googled how to set up VCS for Unity; and I found this: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/BurkayOzdemir/20130303/187697/Using_Unity3D_with_external_VCS_Mercurial__Bitbucket_step_to_step_guide.php
I followed it until it came time to clone the repository from within the hgTortoise workbench. When I hit the clone button after copying and pasting the URL to my repo from the BitBucket.org website I received an error: "Repository Git clone https:://username#bitbucket.org/username/projectName.git not found code: 255" and I do understand what an HTTP 404 error is.
Anyone who has used the internet knows it means the page could not be found.
I created this repo as private; is that why it could not find my repo?
Then I proceeded to follow the instructions at BitBucket's "BitBucket 101" help page. I installed Git, had already created a BitBucket account and repo, and the instructions which followed.
I stopped at the point where the help page said to enter some command line things in to Git Shell. I'm running Windows 8.1 and searches have shown me that particular program doesn't exist on this PC.
Am I doing this correctly? What am I doing wrong? All I need is to set up a VCS.
Git and Mercurial are 2 different distributed version control packages. They both use a command line interface. TortoiseHG (the package referred to in the step-by-step you linked to) is a GUI extension that's only used for Mercurial. (HG is the chemical symbol for Mercury, get it?!)
Bitbucket is an online repository that can host either Git or Mercurial repositories.
It looks like you created your repository on Bitbucket as a Git repo and not a Mercurial repo. Just delete the repo on Bitbucket (make sure you have a good copy of your source code) and recreate it as a Mercurial repo. Then work with TortoiseHG as instructed in the step-by-step.
The fact that it's a private repo doesn't matter. That just means it will only be visible to you (vs. everyone) and will require a password to push and pull changes via https or ssh.
Well, first of all, it seems that the tutorial that you seem to be using is based on using Mercurial instead of Git.
If you're comfortable with diving into the command line, you can download TortoiseHG, which is a Windows shell extension: http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/
However, there's nothing wrong with using SourceTree as well, which is a GUI-based interface for dealing with both Git and Mercurial repositories: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/
FYI, if you downloaded Git for Windows, it should've provided you with a terminal called Git Bash that you can use for Git commands.
So I have my local computer - where I've updated my (html/js/css) code, github (where I've pushed the updated code already by doing a git add + git commit + git push origin master) and then the server of the actual website which the code is for.
I've connected to the server via the command line terminal. I've already previously cloned the code to the server (by running the command git clone [REPO URL]) while logged in to the server via SSH, so the (un-updated-)files are there.
But now that I've updated the code, and pushed that update to github, how do I now update or push the repo/code/updated-github-code to the server???
I'm currently looking at the terminal with
[~]#
^ showing. I tried to git clone [REPO URL] again, but then I get the msg:
fatal: destination path 'name of my file' already exists and is not an empty directory
Am I missing or overlooking a step? Well obviously I am but I could use some help please. Like I said I'm trying to update the code to the server so the actual website will reflect the changes I made to the code and so everything is in sync (local code, code pushed to github and hopefully/eventually the code on the server/website).
I am just learning this obviously, so go easy on me (I've spent almost the entire day learning to connect to the server via SSH in terminal)...
Also, feel free to correct my terminology...
Pull from github while ssh'd into the server using the link from the github repo "copy to clipboard" button on the web interface. If that doesn't work you could try wiping the repos folder on the server and cloning from scratch. But use that option with caution if downtime is unacceptable for this particular web app.
