Week 2 video posted; Week 3 topics

[eeholmes]

I posted the Week 2 video and some more explanations about why branches and cloud-based backups systems are problematic:
https://rverse-tutorials.github.io/RWorkflow-NWFSC-2021/week2.html

On Friday, we are going to dive into using GitHub.

First I'll cover a couple more Git skills

• How to revert changes
• How to add files to .gitignore

Then we'll dive into key GitHub.com skills.

• How to use issues.
• How to use releases.
• How to use organizations---for yourself or a team.

Then I'll show you how to get started collaborating using Git and GitHub.

• How to set things up in a shared repository
• How most small groups (2-4 collaborators) collaborate in practice

Hello Eli - I have not been able to successfully link my new repository created on my GitHub account (https://github.com/mcl140/NEFSC-Hard-Parts) to R-studio because it is not able to find the Git.exe file on my computer. I have installed GitHub Desktop (64-bit) but I have a 32-bit computer. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I'm able to open Github Desktop successfully with my computer and see my account. I'm not able to find a git.exe locally on my computer though? [image: image.png] Any tips on how to troubleshoot this? Thank you, Marjorie

Hi, First search for git.exe to find out where GitHub Desktop installed it. Copy that location. Open RStudio. Go to Tools - Global Options - Git/SVN Then paste the location of git.exe there Good luck! Eli

Yes, I've already done that. It's quite strange because it's not finding a git.exe. I can see where it installed the Desktop (as an app) but finding the executable is proving to be elusive. I may uninstall and re-installed in a more suitable location. Marjorie On Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 12:45 PM Eli Holmes ***@***.***> wrote:

On my mac the Git executable box is /usr/bin/git.

On my PC, it is C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe. If you install Git for Windows locally, it may be at C:\Users\your.username\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\git.exe

or maybe something like this?
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-1.0.5\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe

[eeholmes]

On my PC, I see the git.exe at
Note AppData is a hidden folder, so click View and then click the 'hidden files' checkbox if you don't see it in your users folder.
C:\Users\eli.holmes\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-2.8.3\resources\app\git\cmd

[eeholmes]

Mac users Ignore all this. git.exe is already on your computer at usr/bin/git

Only using Git from GitHub Desktop Ignore all this. This is just for telling RStudio where git.exe is.

Installing Git if you don't want to use the git.exe that GitHub Desktop installs.

PC users Alternatively you can install Git yourself if you are on a PC
https://gitforwindows.org/
where the git.exe ends up depends on how Git was installed. If it is installed for all users, it'll be somewhere like C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe. If you install Git for Windows locally, it may be at C:\Users\your.username\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\git.exe

Very many thanks for the tip on hidden files Eli! That did the trick. I was able to put the full path in the R GUI Tools/Global Options/Git-SVN. Once I did that I went back to open a new project/Version Control/Git/ and finally got the dialog box that allowed me to put in the URL for my repository. The Git tab is now present in my R-studio console. I'm now in business ;)
