I am trying to commit my script changes inside RStudio, but I always get an error about not having a git account to refer to.
I have already tried to run in RStudio's Terminal:
git config --global user.email "you#example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
Then I confirm that my account is correctly recognized:
$ git config --global --list
user.email=my#email.com
I also refreshed the Git tab, and reopened the commit window, to no avail.
I checked Tools --> Version Control --> Project Setup..., which show my project URL correctly.
I expected to be solved after my e-mail being shown by the Terminal, but that's not the case.
Apparently, the solution was to sign in with my user.name instead of my user.email:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
Indeed, I already put that line in my question, but I had only tried the user.email one (I thought they would be interchangeable).

I cannot commit to my github repository with Rstudio.
I followed the correct syntax and tutorial. This is the error I am getting:
It looks like you need to config a global user.
try to run the command:
git config --global user.email "[your email]"
git congif --global user.name "[your username]"
I'm trying to connect using http for a second github account I've recently set up. When I pushed to https://github.com/usernameOf2ndGithubAccount/repo.git, I always got the following error:
remote: Permission to usernameOf2ndGithubAccount/repo.git denied to usernameOf1stGithubAccount
That means I've probably made the username of my 1st github account as the default somewhere. But I've looked through all my environment variables and bashrc but couldn't find it to be set anywhere. Can someone please point out how to fix this issue? Thanks!
P.S. I've tried connecting using ssh for my 2nd github account (by using a new pair of private/public key), and that works fine.
You can specify the username to use in the URL, e.g.:
https://usernameOf2ndGithubAccount#github.com/usernameOf2ndGithubAccount/repo.git
When you set-up git, it will ask for a username and email. This will we global for all your repositories.
You could see your name and email with (which could be different for each repository)
git config user.name
git config user.email
You could change it as follows (only for the current git repository)
git config user.name "myname"
git config user.email "my#email.com"
To see your/update global config, pass --global (after config), e.g.
git config --global user.email
When using TortioseGit, you could easily view and change with a GUI.
This is windows credential manager problem. Nothing to do with SSH or HTTPS. You need to add the second account to the manager. It only reads the github site not the direct https path.
Bash terminal git config --global credential.useHttpPath true
this will add the direct path not just the github site.
I'm new to git and would like to get started using bitbucket.org as a place to create a private repository. This can then be uploaded to the staging server using a service like ftploy.com as I understand.
I am following a tutorial on WPBeginner.com to set up a staging environment for my WordPress local website which I am developing. I set up git on the mac, ran git init on the theme folder and then added all the files using git add .
After that I made a first commit using git commit -m "message here" So far the process appeared to work. No feedback in the terminal though? I then added the line
git remote add origin https://bitbucketusername#bitbucket.org/bitbucketusername/repositoryname.git
Replacing bitbucketusername with mine and repository name with mine. Attempting to push the files to the bitbucket repository resulted in this error however:
error: --all can't be combined with refspecs
usage: git push [<options>] [<repository> [<refspec>...]]

-u, --set-upstream set upstream for git pull/status
--progress force progress reporting
--prune prune locally removed refs
--no-verify bypass pre-push hook

If you have any thoughts on why this may be the case I would appreciate it
You should provide us the command you used to do your git push, but my guess is you did something like this:
git push --all origin master
As git is telling you, this can't be used that way. Here you are asking git to push everything to origin but then you specify a branch (the <refspec>), so it is confusing.
Either push all like this:
git push --all origin
or just your master branch like this:
git push origin master
I've used Git successfully on this machine in the past but suddenly I can no longer push my commits to the Github repo. The last change to the Git toolchain that I made was to install Git 1.8.5.2, in addition to the Github for Windows client. RStudio could not find Git unless I'd already started the Github client so I decided to simply install a stand-alone Git client and change the RStudio Git path.
Error message (RStudio):
error: cannot spawn rpostback-askpass: No such file or directory
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such file or directory
Troubleshooting:
I can commit all projects.
I can pull new projects.
I cannot push any projects, I receive the same error message every time.
I cannot push with Github or RStudio.
Reinstalling /uninstalling Git / Github does not resolve the issue.
Setup:
This is an R project, with RStudio as my IDE / Git GUI.
I'm using Git 1.8.5.2 for Windows 7.
Let me know if there's any more information that you need.
Update 1:
Git GUI tells me that:
Error: hook execution requires sh (not in PATH).
Let's see if I can fix that...
Found something that might help from here: https://github.com/STAT545-UBC/Discussion/issues/93
in RStudio, click on the "Tools" menu and select "Shell"
Run the following command: git push -u origin master
it might ask you for your git username and password. Supply this information, make sure it is correct
hopefully the push is successful, then you can close the window
Now make some more edits to some file so that you have new content to push
click on the "push" button in RStudio and this time the push should work
Found a different suggested solution here: https://github.com/OHI-Science/ohicore/issues/104
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
I am using a WordPress directory struture similar to Mark Jaquith's WordPress Skeleton, which has WordPress in a separate directory from the content as a submodule:
/content
/wp
/local-config.php
/wp-config.php
/index.php
I also use git and post-receive hooks to push my code changes up to my live server. It all works great except for when I try to upgrade WordPress and push that up to the live server.
This is how I setup the repo on my local machine and the remote server:
Local Machine
cd /www
git init .
git submodule add git://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git wp
git commit -m "Add Wordpress submodule."
cd wp
git checkout 3.5
After checking out the tag, I get a warning from git about being in a 'detached HEAD' state. Since I don't plan on making any commits to WordPress, I don't think that should be an issue.
cd ..
git commit -am "Checkout Wordpress 3.5"
Remote Server
git init --bare
cat > hooks/post-receive
#!/bin/sh
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/public git checkout -f
chmod +x hooks/post-receive
git remote add web ssh://user#server/home/private/code/wordpress.git
git push web +master:refs/heads/master
I get this error:
No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.
Perhaps you should specify a branch such as 'master'.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://userserver/home/private/code/wordpress.git'
After some googling, it looks like I can use this command to sync up the master branch up to the server (I have no idea how this works)
git push web +master:refs/heads/master
This doesn't help me though because I don't want to track master, I want to track a release tag, 3.5. Some more googling got me to this command:
git push web +3.5~0:refs/heads/master
To upgrade the submodule, I do this:
cd wp
git fetch && git fetch --tags
git checkout 3.5.1
git push web +3.5.1~0:refs/heads/master
Am I doing this correctly? All the tutorials I see for this just have git push web and they're done. Most don't even cover upgrading the submodule. This does work but I don't feel comfortable using this weird push syntax if I don't have to.
How do I push this detached HEAD state up to the server correctly?
I've also tried this using a branch with git checkout -b mywp 3.5 but when it comes time to upgrade, I don't know how to bring in the new 3.5.1 tag into my mywp branch.
Asked this on WP Answers, but it might be more appropriate here.
On the remote server try:
git submodule update --init --recursive
This will update all your submodules recursively
You can also issue:
git fetch --tags
This will update your local tags fetching updated list from the central remote repo.
