Error cloning from github #45

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

I'm using a windows PC with R version 3.5.1 and I can't clone a github repo to R studio.

Note that @rchiggins is able to clone and create other repositories using https.

Further notes on this- he was able to create and clone repos using his own GitHub account (thankfully), and was able to clone Classroom assignment repos from other people (I think he did it with @ryanpeek's repo). However, when we tried making one manually that had the same name as the assignment repo (w01-fix-readme-rchiggins) he couldn't clone it. Even after changing the repo name it didn't work.

I'd be curious to see if he can pull down other students' assignment repos, maybe Ryan's repo was slightly different because he's an owner of the organization, not just a member?

Has he ever made a github account before, with a different username? This was the same error popping up on another students computer, and it was solved by clearing her keychain (on a Mac) but on a PC this would mean looking into the "Credential Manager" and making sure the github username and password line up.

Don't think so...but could check. At this point I think let's see if he can pull another students repo (one that is both private, and part of the class team, but they'll need to add write priviledges to the repo for him specifically).

I'd like to see him log out of github completely and log back in to make sure his account info matches up, and check user settings a bit more...but can do next week.

Any luck on this @rconorhggins?

Looks like after updating both R and RStudio, and reinstalling git, we successfully sorted this issue. One additional note, for some reason the default path for git in RStudio wasn't /Git/bin/git.exe but /Git/mingx64/git.exe...I think this has also been resolved. Yay! 👍
