Creating a new RProject from already saved files (RMD, md, scripts)

RStudio IDE

I have already created and knit an RMD but it is not within an RProject. (Only files within projects can be staged for upload to Github.)

Hi there! You can still create an RProject and associate it with your .Rmd file. Simply place your .Rmd and associated files into a directory of your choice, then go to File > New Project > Existing Directory, and select the directory that contains your files. Once the project is initialized, you can go to Tools > Version Control > Project Setup, select "Git", and allow RStudio to initialize the Git repo and restart R. Then the Git tab will be available to you.

I hope this helps! If not, can you please clarify your question?

Thanks! Yes - it worked for one .Rmd file and not the other. I must have something else going on. The project file shows up under the Git tab but not the other files in the directory.
