usethis::use_pkgdown_github_pages()
Error in stop_bad_github_remote_config():
! Unsupported GitHub remote configuration: 'no_github'
• Host = NA

Run rlang::last_trace() to see where the error occurred.

Yes, as the error says, usethis::use_pkgdown_github_pages() requires that the package is on GitHub, i.e. git remote -v should show something like:

❯ git remote -v
origin	https://github.com/<user>/<repo> (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/<user>/<repo> (push)

[Manolo]

Thank you Gabor.

How can I get the right setting or connect my package to my existing github repository.

I have another package that works fine and this is what I get when I do:

git remote -v
origin git@github.com:ManuelSpinola/crgrids.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:ManuelSpinola/crgrids.git (push)

[Gabor]

Use git remote add origin <URL>.

usethis is best with https:// URLs, and not great with the ssh URLs you have. See here: About remote repositories - GitHub Docs and here: Managing Git(Hub) Credentials • usethis

[Manolo]

I did that

git remote -v
origin GitHub - ManuelSpinola/crbiodiversity (fetch)
origin GitHub - ManuelSpinola/crbiodiversity (push)
upstream GitHub - ManuelSpinola/crbiodiversity (fetch)
upstream GitHub - ManuelSpinola/crbiodiversity (push)

but I still got the same error message:

use_pkgdown_github_pages()
Setting active project to '/Users/manuelspinola/Documents/R/R_packages/crbiodiversity'
Error in stop_bad_github_remote_config():

What's the output of

gert::git_remote_list()

right after the usethis failure? If that does look right, then I would open an issue in the usethis repository.

[Manolo]

gert::git_remote_list()
# A tibble: 0 × 2
# ℹ 2 variables: name <chr>, url <chr>

I need to add that my package debvelopment crash when I used deploy_to_branch()

Deleted most of the files in my package project folder, and I rebuild the package again, may be in that process something was missing.

[Gabor]

That means that git remote is not set up correctly. You have to call git remote add origin ... (again).

[Manolo]

It says: "remote origin already exists."

[Manolo]

git remote add origin GitHub - ManuelSpinola/crbiodiversity
error: remote origin already exists.

[Manolo]

I also have gh-pages in my repository.

[Gabor]

Are you sure that you are running git and R in the same working directory? Run

getwd()

in R and

pwd

in the shell to make sure.

[Manolo]

getwd()
[1] "/Users/manuelspinola/Documents/R/R_packages/crbiodiversity"

pwd
/Users/manuelspinola/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/.Trash/crbiodiversity 14.28.14

[Manolo]

Something is wrong in my terminal.

[Manolo]

I think everything is right now. Thank you very much Gabor.
