Hi,
This morning, I tried to connect RStudio to Github, but it says 'Git was not detected on the System path'. When I ran the command 'which git', it responded with '/usr/bin/git' which I guess confirms that I've already installed Github Desktop, which in fact I did before trying to make connection between RStudio and Github. I was wondering if someone could help with it, please. This has already eaten major chunk of my day. 
It seems you have already answered your own question on this other topic.
Hi,
This morning, I tried to connect RStudio to Github, but it says 'Git was not detected on the System Path'. When I ran the command 'which git', it read back 'usr/bin/git' which I assume confirms that I've already installed Github Desktop which in fact I did before trying to make the connection between Rstudio and Github. Adding more, when I tried it through Tools > Vision Control > Project Setup > Git/SVN: Version Control System only shows one option and that is 'none'. I'll really appreciate it if someone could help me with it, please. Thank you!!!
R should be able to automatically detect it git if it is installed when you go to tools.
Assuming you are using a Mac OS, here is a way to sidestep installing all of Xcode (which probably would require a very long time to download on a slow connection) to just get the command line tools : How to Install the Command Line Developer Tools Without Xcode « Mac Tips :: Gadget Hacks
Git uses the command line to do its magic so this is a necessary step.
