Excellent @Robby - This works now. I'm still facing quirks with the git tab not appearing in the environment pane and nor the .gitignore-file after initialising git in a fresh project and then logging out/in?
I issue the following commands in the terminal on a fresh project on rstudio.cloud as per instruction on GitHub, when creating a new repo:
echo "# 2020_leonjessen" > README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/rforbiodatascience/2020_leonjessen.git
git push -u origin master
Running git push -u origin master results in prompting for user/pass and this error appearing:
error: cannot run rpostback-askpass: No such file or directory
If I just ignore this and go to the repo https://github.com/rforbiodatascience/2020_leonjessen, it however looks fine.
But alas, the git tab and .gitignore-file remain illusive?
