Git tab missing in RStudio after git installed on Windows
Installed R, R Studio, Git but when I opened R Studio, there was no Git tab,
like the screenshot below:
Windows 8.1, x64
R version: 3.5.1
R Studio version: 1.1.463
Git: 2.19.2
When I opened Tools/Global Options/GitSVN:
Git executable: C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git.exe
SVN executable: C:/Program Files/Git/bin/sh.exe
* I cannot find any file called "svn.exe" in the git folder.
I tried to solve the issue by following methods, but none of them work:
1. After I ran Sys.which("git")in the R Studio, the output was:"C:\PROGRA~1\Git\cmd\git.exe", so I tried to change the git executable to cmd/git instead of bin/git, not work.
2. Re-install everything, no success.
3. Tried older Git version 2.14 but still no success.
Anyone can help me with this? Thank you!

Sounds like a great question to post over at the RStudio Community site where they actually provide community support for RStudio

don't know if it applies, but note that the "git" button is only available if you are inside a RStudio project corresponding to a folder "associated" to a valid git repository.

You have to create a "version control" project in RStudio. If you already did it, restart RStudio.

In order to see the Git tab in the upper right pane in RStudio, one must create an RStudio project, as follows.
Starting from the RStudio main panel, there is no git tab prior to loading a project
Select File > New Project from the main menu bar to create a project
Select New Directory on the dialog box that appears.
Next, fill out the new project information, check the create git repository box, and press the Create Project button.
Once the project has been created, the Git tab is now visible in the upper right quadrant of RStudio.

That's right, if you clone a project from a remote repository and then use existing directory when configuring the project in RStudio, it adds the git tab. I'm glad you have it working now.
