Description
I am trying to clone a private repo in R using Rstudio with git2r and I am getting the following error:
>git2r::clone(url = repo, local_path = dir_name, progress = T, branch = branch, credentials = creds)
cloning into 'C:\Users\...'...
Error in git2r::clone(url = repo, local_path = dir_name, progress = T, :
Error in 'git2r_clone': unsupported URL protocol
The credentials variable used in the function git2r::clone() is the following,
creds <- try(git2r::cred_ssh_key(git2r::ssh_path("id_rsa.pub"), git2r::ssh_path("id_rsa")), silent = T)
I need to clone the repo and install different packages from the repo. I am trying to do so by using SSH keys.
I was able to do this before, I changed from R-4.1.3 to R-4.3.1 and installed the same R packages with corresponding version with renv package, I also tried installing the latest versions of packages.
The only difference I can see now is when running git2r::libgit2_features() I get the following,
In R-4.3.1 I get the following:
git2r::libgit2_features()
$threads
[1] TRUE
$https
[1] TRUE
$ssh
[1] FALSE
In R-4.1.3 I get the following:
git2r::libgit2_features()
$threads
[1] FALSE
$https
[1] TRUE
$ssh
[1] TRUE
Is there a way to change ssh to True. I am using Windows 10, found some examples of how to do this in Linux but not in windows.
If I switch back to the old version of R (R-4.1.3) I can clone the private repo without any issues.
