I had to delete my hard drive and reinstall R,Rstudio and Github on my Mac. When setting up version control I clicked browse to look for git executable. I see that I should have left it as the default /usr/bin/git. How can I get RStudio to reset to the default? I can't see to navigate to that folder.
You can find instructions for resetting RStudio's state here:

I can type in browser on GitHub that I can see in Rstudio and vice versa if I push an edit from Rstudio and commit. Why do I still see my svn as not found under global options then? Does it matter? I am aware that my address for shows this when typing “which git" in terminal: /usr/local/bin/git
Here is the image of Rstudio global options:

I downloaded SilkSVN and did not appear on my SVN executable neither. You can find out where is located by using the next command on git:
where svn
In my case:
C:\Program Files\SilkSvn\bin\svn.exe
I am new to Version control and this is my first attempt. I am also a novice in R. just did an online course. I have installed Git and was trying to add the Version control through Rstudio Global options. The Git executable file path shows "user/bin/git" But when I go to create a Project>version control>Git- I get an error "Git was not detected on the path" I dug deeper and ran cmd in the mac terminal- which git and got the location as "/usr/local/bin/git", I also did a $ git --exec-path and got the location as "/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.30.0/libexec/git-core" I understand the executable path is somewhere else. I understand that I need to change the path but Rstudio is not allowing the changing of the path, and I am unable to edit the path to "/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.30.0/libexec/git-core" from "user/bin/git". I tried manually entering but that doesnt work, I browsed through the file s and sub folders and selected the executable file location , but it still doesnt change. Please help.

This is not a big problem but it's bothering me. I've installed it in Program Files (x86), already found many old solutions which didn't work for me. I can't install it in another location. I've tried to change the ico to a different one located in a path without spaces, but it didn't work.
Git CMD icon works fine (but I don't like this terminal), the problem persists only with GitBash icon
Can someone help?
Sometimes it could be purely because of the shortcut referring to a previous installation which no longer exists. Check properties by right-clicking on git bash terminal's taskbar icon.
If that's the case
Delete the shortcut or
Replace the path with the current installation directory.
The icon was missing in older versions (2.10: see issue 870)
In your case, make sure to install the latest 64-bits version (in Program Files, not Program Files (x86))
That would be: Git-2.15.0-64-bit.exe.
Update Oct. 2022: this is still working correctly.
I am unable to open my Atom Editor. It was working fine until yesterday, but don't know why it won't open today. No windows update or anything on my computer. I tried deleting the 'Storage' folder as mentioned in some online forums, doesn't help. Any suggestions? I am using Atom version 1.19.6.0.
If you're using MAC OS and have similar problem, try this:
Open Window tab
and then click Zoom.
Atom will sometime fail to open because of a bad configuration-file.
To better diagnose this on Windows (10), try running atom from a CMD window:
Open the task-manager and kill any instance of Atom that is listed there
Open a Command-window -
Ctrl+Esc > (type "command") > Enter
Go to where Atom is installed -
cd %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/atom/app-*
Run Atom -
atom.exe
If you see an error message at this point, it should help identify the problem.
If still not clear, you can try moving the main configuration-file,
which is in a different folder:
cd %USERPROFILE%/.atom/
rename config.cson config.SAVE.cson
Go to where Atom is installed (again) -
cd %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/atom/app-*
Run Atom -
atom.exe
Based on this answer on the Atom forum:

I experienced this issue when my Atom windows all suddenly resized to be so small I could not see or find them anywhere (some weird glitch with opening it from a full-screen window on an external display). I resolved it by command-tabbing (I think it's ctrl-tab on Windows, I forget) to my open atom application to bring up the application's menu bar, and then selecting Window > Zoom from the menu.
I am using Atom on Windows 10 64-bit, and had similar problems of installation and not running later.
You can do the following:
Empty Trash, and Temp and Prefetch folders.
Change the security and read only properties of the temp folder.
IMP > Disable antivirus and run atom it will work, later add the Atom app to exclusion list of your antivirus.
Open the task-manager and kill any instance of Atom that is listed there
Got to where Atom installed : Mine:> C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\atom
See this Image
Go to Folder indicated in the picture and find atom.exe by scrolling through the folder and open it and make a shortcut to desktop and it will work.
I found that mv command is not builtin Windows cmd as suggested by Gonen. So following the idea of Gonen, a working solution can also be like:
In windows explorer type %USERPROFILE%/.atom/, or manually go to the path
(in my case): C:\Users\hussainazhar.atom. Of course, go to your drive path accordingly. Close Atom application if already opened.
Simply rename the config.cson to config.SAVE.cson
Open up the Atom and now you can go to the settings :)
All you simply need to do is go the main directly where the file is located and open the FIRST folder.
After opening it, there you will see atom file, double click on it and it will be opened successfully.
The atom Window is just minimized, it gives the impression of not openning, but it is actually opening, again is just minimized.
I was able to see the atom interface, by maximizing the window using the keyboard:
on windows, it normally is Alt+SpaceBar+x.
I installed a buggy package in Atom which has been crashing the editor repeatedly. So, I went into Atom Settings to remove it, but just out of curiousity I clicked the "Open Config Folder" button beforehand which opened an empty window and dev tools alongside:
Atom subsequently crashed (probably because of the buggy package I was about to install) and now when I open Atom, I only see the above window and nothing else, even if I open it from the "Open with Atom" context menu from any folder. So, now I'm stuck with just this window and no actual Atom Editor.
I tried re-installing Atom and it did not solve the issue. I checked the "Atom" menu available in that window and it only gives me basic options: "Check for Update", "Reload", "Close Window", "Toggle Dev Tools", and "Quit", none of which can get me back to the main editor window.
Anybody seen this before or know how to break out of it?
I got the same problem but on Ubuntu. I tried apt-get --reinstall and purge but both did not work.
Turns out it was just no read permissions for /home/username/.atom/
All I did to fix it was:
sudo chmod 777 -R '/home/username/.atom'
I found a quick solution for this. The Atom uses a BLOB file to store data from the last user session and re-open that when Atom is restarted. By removing that file, Atom restarted at it's default state.
You can find that file on a Windows machine here:
C:\Users\[Username]\.atom\blob-store
Just delete, or rename, the file BLOB. Then, just open up Atom and you should be good to go.
Try this:
Close Atom
Remove C:\Users\[Username]\.atom\storage\application.json
Start Atom
