RStudio and Github have been working fine in the past on my Windows machine. However, suddenly the Git pane for my project seems very slow and ultimately becomes unresponsive. I am unable to check the boxes to commit / push my files to Github. I'm experiencing these problems on a Windows machine, but the same process works fine on my Mac laptop.
Mysterious slowness issues can be very frustrating, and unfortunately also can be system-specific and difficult to debug . I’m afraid I don’t know what might be wrong, but here are a few things to try based on past discussions here and elsewhere:
The Github repo lives on a cloud folder (box.com) that is synced to my various computers, so that may be the issue. If the problem re-emerges, I will experiment with moving the repo to my local machine.
I also read on an R forum somewhere (can't find the link now) that this is a known issue that sometimes appears and then mysteriously goes away.
After rebooting my machine several times, the issue went away, so I'll wait to see if it re-appears and try some of the suggested solutions.
