4 years ago You seem to have some general setup questions related to use of git and RStudio. Maybe the book at https://happygitwithr.com/ could be of help to you?
svn is an alternative to git and was used earlier; I do not think we say that we ship the subversion package containing it. You could install it yourself. Also, you do not need openssh-server -- the "other side" that you would want to access with ssh would.
Overall I do not think I see any errors reported that would be caused by our container malfunctioning or being misconfigured so I will close this. Please reopen if you see anything wrong with the container.
Hi, I'm using Windows 64-bit and my R version is 4.0.2. I'm trying to link rstudio to github so I went into Tools-Global options-Git/SVN. I can only see Git executable but no SVN executable and no SSH/RSA key. When I try to create RSA key, it says RSA key will be created at C:/Users/?꾩???/.ssh/id_rsa, and I cannot even read the error message that pops up when I click create button cuz it's an array of ? signs. I saw a solution in some other issue that I can solve the problem of no SVN executable by downloading SlikSubversion so I did and designated it as a SVN, but it still doesn't work. Also, someone said I can use openssh-server package but error msg said this package cannot be installed in version 4.0.2. Thank you
