How to link RStudio and GitHub?

To link RStudio and Git, you can follow these steps:

• Install Git on your computer.
• Open RStudio.
• Click on Tools > Global Options.
• In the Version Control section, select Git.
• Click on OK.
• click on Create RSA key.
• RStudio will prompt you for a passphrase. It is optional, but also a best practice. Configuring your system for smooth operation with a passphrase-protected key introduces more moving parts.
• Click on Create.
• RStudio will create an RSA key pair and store your identification and public key in the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub respectively.
• Click on Apply and OK to close the Global Options window.
• To add your public key to GitHub, go to your GitHub profile and click on Settings.
• In the SSH and GPG keys section, click on New SSH key.
• Enter a title for your key and paste your public key into the Key field.
• Click on Add key.

Your public key has now been added to GitHub. You can use this key to securely access GitHub repositories.

You can create a new RStudio project that uses Git by following these steps:

• Click on File > New Project.
• In the New Project dialog, select Version Control > Git.
• In the Repository URL field, enter the URL of your Git repository.
• Click on Create Project.
