See Chapter 14 of this excellent ebook: Happy Git and GitHub for the useR by Jennifer Bryan https://happygitwithr.com/troubleshooting.html

6.1 Add a remote

With a shell, go to the folder which will be associated with a Git repository:

git remote add origin https://github.com/3wen/repo-name.git
git pull origin main
git remote -v

If the Pull/Push buttons are not available on RStudio:

git fetch origin
git pull origin main

In RStudio:

In the Git tab, click on “Commit”
A new window opens. Tick the box of each file to commit and add a commit message
Click on the “Commit button”. This closes the window.
If you want to push the changes to the Git repository, in the Git tab, click on the “Push” button.

Or, in a shell, to commit all changes:

git add --all
git commit -m "Reason of the commit"
git push -u origin main

To list the local branches:

git branch

To delete a local branch:

git branch --delete <branchname>

Then :

git push -u origin main
