[R-pkg-devel] submitting to github

Hi Troels,

This probably doesn't score points for best practice, but if you only need to post the files to GitHub, you could always set up a new repository on github.com<http://github.com> and simply drag and drop the relevant files from your computer into the browser window.

Hi Troels,

origin: none means that git created a local repository but didn't link 
it to a github account yet. If you're not that familiar with git, I 
suggest you take a look at Github Desktop. We use that with our 
students, and even I still use it sometimes. Github Desktop allows you 
to publish a local repository to github with one click. You just have 
to set your credentials after installing.

More info on adding a remote through shell :

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hej Troels,



What exactly are you trying to acheive here? I.e., are you trying to 
1) put a new project onto github, or 2) copy a repository on github 
to your local computer, or 3) do as 2) and then update it your 
current modifications?

Dear friends - I'm sorry to bother but seem to be unable to interact 
constructively with github.



I try to follow the instructions from Hadley (thanks!!!!) - i.e. I 
have a small trial-project which functions well. Since I have tried 
many times I start from shell with

rm -rf .git

and then select version control using git (tools, project 
options,git/svn)
-
and origin is still marked as "none" after restarting RStudio.

Then from shell again: git init

Yielding

Initialized empty Git repository in
C:/Users/Troels/Dropbox/Rown/ABCharge/.git/

Rstudio restarted, package reopened: origin still "none"

Git panel appears OK.



Now from github: add new repository (non present after prior 
deletions!)

Named as package name - repeated in description - repository created



Shell opened from RStudio

git remote add origin https://github.com/troelsring/ABCharge.git  - 
works without problems - an origin seems correctly accepted in 
RStudio - but
then:

git push -u origin master  - results in:



error: src refspec master does not match any.

error: failed to push some refs to
'https://github.com/troelsring/ABCharge.git' below in red



I seem (also!) to have problems with the SSH keys - Rstudio marks 
that I have a key in c:/Users/Troels/.ssh/id_rsa -

but when I run file.exists("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub") [1] FALSE -  Is 
returned - but that is not the issue I guess? I have anyway made a 
public key as suggested.

I have spent hours seeking on the many pages for explanation for 
this probably simple problem.
All best
Troels
