gitignore (select R from a drop-down menu). Then, opt for Initialize this repository with a README (a README file is the one everyone sees when viewing your repo). Would you like someone to check your code (and/or repo) before it goes public? No problem either - you can add collaborators, even if you are using a GitHub Free version (in that case, you can add up to 3 collaborators in private repos). You will make it public, simply by changing the option in the settings of your repo. Still not sure about the result and prefer to keep it private until you confirm everything is correct? No problem, you can opt for a private repository. (You can just about get away with entering a user name and password instead of a token but GitHub is deprecating the use of passwords in favour of token methods of authentication.Now, you need to name your repo (here: test-repo) and you are free to add a brief description. The next time that you push changes to GitHub you should not be prompted to enter your user name and password. If you do, just ignore it - it’s an overenthusiastic error message.
You may get an error message that looks something like this: If you run gitcreds::gitcreds_set() again you should see something similar to this:Įnter 1 in the console to keep the credentials. Back in the R console enter the following: gitcreds::gitcreds_set()Īnd enter the personal access token from GitHub. Accept the defaults, and copy and save the generated PAT. This should take you directly to the GitHub option for creating a PAT (once you’re signed in to GitHub).
Enter the code below into the R console: install.packages("usethis") There are packages in R to facilitate this. To push commits to GitHub from a repository in RStudio, it’s a good idea to set up a personal access token (PAT) to allow secure access.
