Git Tab no longer appearing

[Brock]

I am having the same exact issue as described here, which is now closed:

The Git tab has disappeared?

This is very strange. I have Git setup and suddenly the Git was gone from my project. So I looked at the global options which looks like this [image] Clearly, the Git.exe is there [image] However, when I check the project's Git. I see that Git is not there! [image] This is very strange! So I tried to see if it's to do with my project, so I tried to start a new project [image] So what should I do now? I have tried to re-install Git, reinstall Rstudio, restart Rstudio and restarting. Still no luck? The directory is still a git directory as I can git status it no problems, and I use other git clients to see that the git/project directory has no issues. The only I did do was to i…

I noticed this after upgrading my Macbook to Catalina.

Git is installed:

(base) QST-ML-0208:~ btibert$ whereis git
/usr/bin/git

Rstudio recognizes git

But the project open within Rstudio does not

And last but not, least I previously managed this project via git prior to the upgrade. Worth noting is that I actually uninstalled Rstudio this morning, and reinstalled it just now, no dice.

Proof this is a git project on my machine:

There are two things you might try:

1. You might need to re-accept the Xcode license, with:

sudo xcodebuild -license accept

2. You might need to re-install command line tools:

xcode-select --install

Also, just in case it's relevant: do you see this behavior in a brand new project as well?

[Brock]

Thank you. For completeness, new projects also had this issue. For the first command, that actually didn't work; ironically I had to open Xcode to accept the license. After that, I ran the second command, as that was needed.

After a full restart, everything appears to be back to normal.

Thanks again.

Phew, glad you were able to get to the bottom of the issue!
