issues with git when updating to Mojave OSX #52

Closed ryanpeek closed 5 years ago

ryanpeek commented 5 years ago

@gge-ucd/hippogriffs, I know some folks were have this issue, so I'm tagging everyone (just in case). The following only applies to folks who are working on a Mac, and who recently updated to the Mojave OSX.

Several folks were encountering problems where the git tab disappeared from the RStudio browser. Or your project just no longer functions as a git repository locally.

A potential solution! 👍

After installing Mojave, you likely need to reinstall command line tools (and friends). Try running from a Terminal window:

xcode-select --install

Also when you run the following /usr/bin/git --version, you may get prompted to update your xcode as well...either way the main thing that needs to happen is to update and accept the license agreement so everything will function again. This may require a restart of your computer, but at minimum a restart of RStudio.

Please let me know (@ryanpeek) if this works for you! Filing issues is a way to be an active participant, so don't be shy about commenting. We'll talk more about issues and github etiquette next week.

Hi all - I had to attend via live-streaming this past week but I overheard this issue over the break. I'm on a Mac with the most recent update my computer is aware of; I haven't experienced an issue yet. The issue others are experiencing does sound similar to when I was trying to access my git version-control files on a new computer (that didn't "know git" yet) a few weeks back and the git tab wouldn't show. Hope re-running the lines work; it did for me. #participating
