I am very new to blogdown and git. While staging the files/folders (using RStudio) inside the project folder, I am unable to choose the following folders:
Can anybody let me know why this is happening and how can I stage/commit/push the above folders to the remote repository?
Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, so for future reference here are two ways I found to deal with it:
Try staging the files using the RStudio terminal. Open the terminal (Tool > Terminal > New Terminal) and type in
git add -A. Then close the terminal. For me, this instantly staged all the files and let me commit and push them from within R Studio.Download the GitHub desktop client. Within the client, add your R project file as a repository. You can then use the 'fetch origin', 'commit master' and 'push origin' buttons to commit and push your folders. So you'd use RStudio as you normally would to edit your website, but use the GitHub client to commit and push.
Hope this helps. These solutions were provided by users at RStudio community https://community.rstudio.com/t/blogdown-unable-to-stage-and-commit/6621/4
