I've tried to reinstall Git and Rstudio and also reset the Rstudio setting, and successfully cloned a repo from GitHub. However, I the Git tub is not showing and the Terminal looks just like a Window Terminal (not like a Git Terminal). In the Global Options, my Git executable and SSH RSA key are showing up. My git version is 2.34.1.windows.1
However, even after I just cloned the project, when I went to the Project Options, "Version control system" was saying "None".
I was working well with my setup, but suddenly yesterday my Git tab was gone.
The only thing I can suspect is that my office computer was reconfigured to have the OneDrive folder as the default folder. But even then, I create a soft link from the folder where I have my ssh key to the new HOME folder.
I hope you can help me with this bizarre issue.
Do you mean the git tab alonside Environment and History on the right? I think this only shows up if you actually use version control in the project you are working on. To enable version control go to Tools->Project options->GIT/SVN and choose git in the dropdown menu. Maybe your project settings were mangled in the move from home to onedrive.
Hope this helps,
Valentin
Hi Valentin,
Thank you for your response. It's the Git tab alongside the Environment and History tabs.
I can still use git manually. I can push it to my Git repo. But it still wouldn't show me the Git tab.
As I mentioned above, I tried to clone my repo. But the moment it's successfully cloned, I cannot see the Git tab, and when I went to Tools -> Project Options -> Git/SVN it showed "(None)".
I just don't think the project settings were mangled from home to OneDrive because I cloned the project from the GitHub repo. Hence, there shouldn't be any problem with the default project setting.
I also included a picture for your reference. As in the screenshot, my branch is up-to-date (since I just cloned it), but the tab would not show up and version control system is "None".
And clicking on "(None)" does not give you the option to choose git? Apart from that you could try usethis::use_git() on your project, this may fix things. You may need to install that package by running install.packages("usethis"). Apart from that I am at a loss unfortunately. Best of luck!
Okay that's weird. Well at this point I am only guessing, I'm sorry.
What about starting a new project using git from the beginning? Is the git tab present then? In that case it may be worth the try setting up a new project with git (new project -> new directory -> check "create git repository" ) and connecting to your remote branch afterwards?
Apart from that, you may also try resetting the project state by renaming the hidden folder ".Rproj.user" in your project directory.
Due to a new movement in the tech industry, organizations (e.g., companies or universities) will not allow their members to have complete control of their machines (i.e., administrative privileges or running programs as administrators).

The documentation below provides information based on the default layout/options of each pane. The specific components within each pane and overall arrangement of panes can be modified by opening the Tools > Global Options > pane Layout.
The source pane allows users to view and edit various code-related files, such as .R, .rmd, .qmd, .py, .css, or general text files such as .txt or .md. By default it is the top-left panel and can be launched by opening any editable file in RStudio. Each additional file that is opened will be added as a new tab within the Source pane.
Individual source files can also be opened in their own window, rather than only within the Source pane. Source windows allow you to edit files outside the main RStudio window. This is useful for splitting your work among multiple monitors, or devoting more space to your editor.
The easiest way to jump to a source window is to use the global Go To File/Function tool (Ctrl + .). Begin typing the name of the file you want to navigate to; when it appears, select it and press Enter.
The right side of the menu bar has a run button to run the selected line, a Re-Run button to rerun the previous code, a source drop-down button for sourcing the file silently, with echo, or as a Background Job. The last icon opens a document outline which will display section labels in the code. Section labels are written as special comments:
Quarto documents (.qmd) have a toggle-able Source or Visual mode for displaying real time view of the formatted markdown, along with a Save button, a Render on Save, Spellcheck, search, Render button, a gear for selecting whether to have inline output or output to the R console or Plot pane.
On the right side of the menu bar there is a section for adding specific language code chunks, a dropdown for running various methods of the code, and a blue publish button for publishing to Posit Connect, Shinyapps.io, Quarto Pubs or RPubs.
By default the console pane is the bottom left pane. The console pane provides an area to interactively execute code. By default it is tied to R, but through the use of the reticulate package, it can also provide a Python console.
The Console pane also includes an integrated Terminal tab for executing system commands, adding or removing additional integrated terminals, as well as general controls of the current selected terminal.
The Background Jobs tab provides the ability to send long running R scripts to local and remote background jobs. This functionality can dramatically improve the productivity of data scientists and analysts using R since they can continue working in RStudio while jobs are running in the background.
The environment menu bar provides loading or saving of R Workspaces, interactive import of datasets from text files, Excel, or SPSS/SAS/Stata. It also displays the memory currently used by the active R session, and a broom icon to remove all of the current environment objects.
The history tab displays the commands that were executed in the current session along with search. There are buttons for loading/saving the command history to a file, as well as sending the selected command into the console or inserting it into the current working document. There is a delete button for deleting the selected history or the broom button for removing all history of the current session.
The connections tab displays connections to local or remote databases or pins. Additional possible connections can be added by installing database drivers or specific R packages. You can interactively click on available connections and it will provide generic R code to register an active connection with that data source. Once the connection is created, you can then explore available tables or pins in that connection.
By default, the Output pane is the bottom-right pane and displays various outputs such as plots, HTML content, or on-disk files. It contains the Files, Plots, R Packages, Help, Tutorial, Viewer, and Presentation tabs.
This tab provides interactive exploration of the current R Project along with the entire directory. There are menu bar options for adding new folders, new blank files, deletion/renaming of files, as well as a gear pane for additional functions.
This tab will display static images generated by code until the session is restarted. There are backwards and forwards arrows for navigating between older and newer plots that have been displayed, a Zoom feature, an export button for saving displayed outputs, a delete button for removing the currently displayed image, and a broom icon which will clear ALL temporary plots from this tab
The package tab allows for viewing currently installed R packages, and has a search bar for searching the current library of packages. There is an install and update button for installation of new packages or updating existing selected packages.
The help tab is used to display package documentation and vignettes. There are arrows for navigating backwards and forwards as additional help pages are viewed. The home icon will return to the general help page, with links to Resources, Manuals, References, and Posit Support.
My laptop has the windows 10 system and I have installed the subsystem Ubuntu. I have installed Rstudio but when I run it "QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Aborted (core dumped)" will be shown. Could anyone tell me how can I run Rstudio on my Linux subsystem? Thank you
The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is only command line. That means it can only run programs that have a text based interface. R for Linux is text based. Rstudio is a graphical user interface for R. You may be able to run R in WSL. I have not tried it.
Instead of running RStudio Desktop from the WSL, another option is to run RStudio Server from the WSL and access it in your web browser. This is straightforward to accomplish thanks to the OpenCPU project. I provide instructions for running RStudio Server from the WSL (as well as generally setting up the WSL for R development) in my blog post R programming in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with RStudio Connect SAML Authentication using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in RStudio Connect SAML Authentication.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following steps, replacing with your RStudio Connect SAML Authentication Server Address and port:
