I spun up an Azure VM with RStudio and Git installed.
I then used File -> New Project -> Version Control -> Git to clone a project from an azure devops repo.
The project is created successfully, and all files are downloaded. So far, so good.
However none of the options in the Git tab are enabled. It does not track any changes, I cannot pull or commit/push. It does not list any of the remote branches, and it does not show me what branch I am currently working on.
When I try to click anything on that tab, it gives me an error tat says "The directory name is invalid". I made sure the directory name has no spaces, special characters, etc. It's C:/Users/dfphd/Projects/ProjectName
I tried re-installing rstudio and git (installed git first, then rstudio), and it still does not work.
When I look at the logs, it gives me the following errors:
