Rstudio cant detect git

Question

I trying to create a project from version control. However when I click git I get the following error:

Git was not detected on the system path.

Googling showed me that I to specify my git executable in my options:

So therefore I filled in "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe" in the field named: Git executable.

Having done this I still receive the same error however.

Any thoughts on what goes wrong here?

Answer 1

Configure RStudio to use git

Open RStudio

Click Tools -> Global Options -> Git/SVN

If Git executable shows (none), click Browse and select the git executable installed on your system

Important:

Restart RStudio if you make any changes.
