First Time Git/GitHub Account Configuration on a Workflow
Scope
This page outlines the basic steps to configure the version control tool, Git, with your GitHub account on a Metworx workflow.
Initial Setup
To configure Git for the first time on your Metworx workflow, follow the steps below:
- After successfully starting a workflow, launch RStudio
- Open the Terminal in RStudio,
- Run the following commands, replacing
YOUR_USERNAME
andYOUR_EMAIL
:
<!-- -->
git config --global user.name YOUR_USERNAME
git config --global user.email YOUR_EMAIL
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
git config --global http.sslverify false
for example:
git config --global user.name janed
git config --global user.email janed@metrumrg.com
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
git config --global http.sslverify false
This set up only has to be done once on a new disk. The settings will then persist each time that existing disk is used on new workflow instances.
