[R-pkg-devel] GitHub problems
Hi, Max et al.: ??? ? With SSH established: git clone git at github.com:JamesRamsay5/fda.git ??? ? Worked. ????? I had tried something like "git clone git at github.com:JamesRamsay5/fda.git" before, but I either did not have that exact syntax or I tried that before I had SSH. ????? Thanks again, ?????

Hi Spencer, Did you follow the instructions here? https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh Once the key is setup, you should be able to do "git clone git at github.com:JamesRamsay5/fda.git", without any need to input a token or a password in the command. Similarly, git push/pull/fetch should all work seamlessly. This is how I've used Github for many years, and it's always worked fine. Best, Max Connecting to GitHub with SSH - GitHub Help <https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh> help.github.com You can connect to GitHub using SSH.

I've been unable to get SSH to work with "https://github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda", documented in my email to this group almost 3 weeks ago.? I've been able to do "git clone https://sbgraves237:<GitHub-password>@github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda", then change a file, do "git commit" and "git push". ?????? However, this has my GitHub password in a plain text ".git" file on my hard drive.? I think the hard drive on my computer is encrypted, so maybe that's not a problem. ?????? Am I not allowed to use SSH with a GitHub repository that's not my own? ?????? Thanks, ?????? Spencer Graves p.s.? Since my previous email, Ramsay added "README.md" to that repository.? I can do "git clone" and get it, then edit it, then "git commit".? However, "git push" keeps giving me errors: git push remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://<token>@github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/' ?????? A few hours ago, the owner, JamesRamsay5, went to "Settings" > "Manage access", then invited me as a collaborator.? I got an email asking me to "view invitation", which I did.? I got another email saying, "Hey there, we?re just writing to let you know that you?ve been automatically subscribed to a repository on GitHub." Sadly, I still couldn't access it, so I I deleted my token and created a new one.? I also deleted my previous local clone of "fda" and recreated it using "git clone https://<token>@github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda".? Then I did a test edit to the one file in that repository, README.md.? I think did 'git commit README.md -m "tst edit"'.? Then "git push" keeps giving me the error just mentioned. ?> sessionInfo() R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit) Running under: macOS Catalina 10.15.4 Matrix products: default BLAS: /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libBLAS.dylib LAPACK: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats???? graphics? grDevices utils???? datasets [6] methods?? base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.6.3 tools_3.6.3 On 2020-03-14 02:33, Spencer Graves wrote:
Thanks very much. I deleted my token.? I will forward your comment to Jim Ramsay to try to figure out the permissions question. Spencer On 2020-03-14 01:35, Hugh Parsonage wrote:
You published your token. You should revoke it. You probably don?t have the right permissions associated with git.
